Steve Jobs by Walter Isaacson.

When Steve Jobs died in October of 2011, there was a number of books that came out offering information about the man and how he rose to fame. This book was by far the most popular and seemed to be done the best as well. So naturally, this is the one I chose.


Well, he was one interesting man for sure. When I first started reading this book it was very difficult. He is not an easy man to read about. His tantrums and childish behavior was too much for me. But I took a break from it, read another book, then I picked it up again. Turns out I was almost to the point in the book where there is a major transition in his personality and behavior. He went through a time of failure, not hugely, but still failure. It humbled him and gave him a dose of reality. After that, I could not put this down.


He is a fascinating man who had a lot of things you had t deal with. But that's the thing with geniuses, they all have that "something" that drives you  nuts. This book is exceptionally well-written and crystal clear. A lot of work was put into this book and it is obvious, it is definitely worth the read! Check it out ASAP!
