Enjoyed this biography of Steve Jobs. I thought that it gave good background information to students about the work that he did to make personal computers part of our everyday lives. I also liked that it gave a very realistic description of Steve Jobs as a person. Students reading this book would definitely understand the importance and genius of his work but would see that he wasn't without flaws. Would recommend it to students looking for more information about Steve Jobs or interested in 20th century inventors.

Planing to read Steve Jobs biography, i found this short book about him. I learned several things about Steve Jobs and i really liked his insistence on creating the device that he had on his mind.

Short biography that i can say i learnt different things from it.

Fun and easy to read book, i recommend it..👍🏼

I knew some of this already, but it was still an interesting read. I find the more modern the person, the more interesting the book is.

I read this aloud to my three elementary aged kids. I wanted them to have a sense of why Apple products are amazing and how much technology has changed just in last 15 years. They really enjoyed the part about PIXAR the most. The book doesn't shy away from Jobs' awful treatment of people. He was a true visionary. I totally teared up reading the last few pages.
