Walter Isaacson's ‘Steve Jobs’ offers a captivating insight into the life and mind of one of the most iconic innovators of our time. As a long-time admirer of Apple, I found this book to be a riveting exploration of how much Steve Jobs' unique personality shaped the company into what it is today. His relentless pursuit of excellence, intense focus on detail, and unwavering dedication to creating revolutionary products resonated deeply with me. Isaacson masterfully portrays Jobs’ determination and passion, allowing readers to vicariously experience the intensity with which he approached his life's work. A truly inspiring read for any Apple enthusiast!

Helt okej biografi. Nu är det säkert nån som tycker att hur fan kan du påstå det - Jobs var ju en enastående människa? Förvisso - men jag har läst betydligt bättre biografier än denna.

Impossible not to slightly tear up at the end. What a wonderfully crafted biography! There is much I did not know about Steve Jobs, who will now serve as both an inspiration and a cautionary tale of pursuing innovation at all costs.

Looking "inside the kimono" isn't always pretty. Hard to like the story of a man who treats people the way he did. Still, if one equates him to a drill sergeant who is purposeful in his behavior in order to protect his troops and win the war, then maybe there are redeeming qualities beyond the successful products he helped to create, including the one I'm typing on now.

I think the book is very well written; it is engaging to a great degree, and it portrays Steve's life, work, and character authentically. Steve's character, in particular, is very interesting and intriguing. I would have loved the book even if it only showed his character and left out other aspects of his life.

The start of this book was so hard to get through.
It took me a long time to get through the sluggish part of the first half. The more recent chapters were so so good tho.
I'm not sure why Steve Jobs, the master of innovation and creation decided to have this guy write his biography. I found it weird and confusing with all the dates out of order, unnecessary names, and technical language. This wasn't a typical, fun easy read, kind of biography.
That being said, I liked the content and found it interesting, but I don't like the authors writing style and wish someone else would have done this for Mr. Jobs.
