it was amazing
bookshelves: non-fiction, bios-memoirs

I liked this book much more than I thought I would. It is engrossing and fascinating throughout. (Of course, depending on the reader, some areas are inheirently more interesting that others - the chapters on the development of Pixar flew by twice as fast as the rest of the book for myself.) I was also surprised and pleased by how fair and honesty Isaacson made his book. For every criticism of or by Jobs, Isaacson offers context and fairness to those involved. It is neither a glorification or hatchet job, it is - perhaps - the closest we peons may get to the truth of who Steve Jobs actually was.
