"What a great read. It had a drama, dirt, personalities, and style. It was my first encounter with the legend. I thoroughly enjoyed it. Personally, I find it so easy to worship this man. He has lots of bad qualities. Even those traits, I find them attractive. I guess that's what charisma means. Steve jobs has almost every trait that a leader should have. He's that unique."

" enjoyed the trip of Jobs "
— Conrado, 2/16/2014 -
" Pretty good book, covers the time up to the iMac (so no iPod stuff in there). "
— Mike, 1/13/2014 -
" Really interesting story told here which really brings to bear the genius that was Steve Jobs. "
— Matt, 1/9/2014 -
" This is a great story of the man who got kicked out of Apple and then asked back. I choose this over the Woz book as I thought the Job's story was probably more interesting. His twist and turns are actually quite entertaining. I would recommend. "
— Chris, 12/21/2013 -
" Zeer interessant boek uit 2000 over Steve Jobs tijd en rol bij NeXt, Pixar en zijn terugkeer bij Apple. "
— Davy, 12/7/2013 -
" If you're a Mac fan, this is a must read. I would like to lock Steve Jobs in a room with my father and see how it would turn out. ;) "
— Lauren, 9/29/2013 -
" A wonderful portrait of the man at the time before the iPhone and the iPad. "
— Siew, 8/31/2013 -
" Steve Jobs! Enough said. "
— Mitch, 7/21/2013 -
" A great book about Steve Jobs, post-Apple until NeXT was taken over and he went back. Also goes right up to the debut of iTunes and the complete turnaround of the company. "
— Dwayne, 6/20/2013 -
" The true story of how Steve Jobs pulled himself back up after being fired from Apple Computer to retake the reigns of one of the most unique computer companies that ever existed. He went on to return the company to greatness, but this book only predicted that it would happen -- then it actually did. "
— carl, 5/11/2013 -
" Too much of a focus on the celebrity nature, not enough substance. "
— Dave, 4/3/2013 -
" You get to know who and what Jobs is and his role in Apple as well as the history of Apple. Like Woz, it is a great book for Apple fans. "
— Papa, 3/21/2013 -
" A balanced and interesting look at the stories Steve never wanted you to hear. Still one of the kings of Jobs bios in my opinion, right along with the authorized one. "
— Jamie, 3/15/2013 -
" Why Apple is so powerful and successful. You need to be an ass (at times) to win. "
— Andrew, 2/28/2013 -
" A fascinating look at Steve Jobs' life until year 2000, as he was making his successful come back to Apple, before the iPhone/iPad phenomenon. "
— Omar, 12/25/2012 -
" I always find it fascinating to learn about the personalties behind some of the world's best known names. This one was particularly interesting because Steve Jobs is one of those larger than life characters, and frankly I knew next to nothing about him before reading this book. "
— Cesar, 11/30/2012 -
" This book helped me to fight back... "
— Anand, 10/14/2012 -
" A brilliant and eccentric man. "
— Lynn, 9/22/2012 -
" A gossipy collection of loosely connected stories about Steve Jobs. Clearly a journalist's book, it proceeds in paragraph fits and keeps restating its premises. "
— Neven, 7/18/2012 -
" A better biography than Issacson's- far more detail and texture to Steve's adventures. I loved this book. "
— David, 6/23/2012 -
" My first Jobs book. Really enjoyed it. It mainly detailed the time between his stints at Apple, talking much about NeXT, Pixar and such. I'd heard some stuff regarding how critical he could be. His style was covered in detail. I found that to be intriguing. "
— Chris, 5/18/2012 -
" Very similar to the book iCon. Another great book regarding the iconic leader of Apple. "
— Jaret, 4/1/2012 -
" Interesting enough, but poorly written, very journalistic, and broadly lacking in any sources able to give real insight into Steve Jobs as a person. <br/> <br/>Also, if he tells me that a company was 'bleeding money' one more time, he's going to find himself bleeding too. "
— thom, 6/16/2011 -
" This is a great story of the man who got kicked out of Apple and then asked back. I choose this over the Woz book as I thought the Job's story was probably more interesting. His twist and turns are actually quite entertaining. I would recommend. "

" Digressive nonetheless it is about my hero. I enjoyed it "
— Harish, 6/28/2010 -
" Not bad. <br/> <br/>Not very complimentry to Jobs, who does seem have some dark shades. "
— Sameer, 6/25/2010 -
" A breezy look at Steve Jobs' life, including famous meltdowns. "
— Brad, 11/28/2009 -
" This is was and still remains to be a major inspiration for me! <br/>If you are a computer tech head, business owner or a creative person, <br/>I highly recommend this read! "
— Sheila, 4/14/2009 -

" Not very good. Insider's homage to the creator of the "reality distortion field." Too much homage, in fact. "
