About this listen
A frank, smart, and captivating memoir by the daughter of Apple founder Steve Jobs
Born on a farm and named in a field by her parents - artist Chrisann Brennan and Steve Jobs - Lisa Brennan-Jobs' childhood unfolded in a rapidly changing Silicon Valley. When she was young, Lisa's father was a mythical figure who was rarely present in her life. As she grew older, her father took an interest in her, ushering her into a new world of mansions, vacations, and private schools. His attention was thrilling, but he could also be cold, critical, and unpredictable. When her relationship with her mother grew strained in high school, Lisa decided to move in with her father, hoping he'd become the parent she'd always wanted him to be.
Small Fry is Lisa Brennan-Jobs' poignant story of a childhood spent between two imperfect but extraordinary homes. Scrappy, wise, and funny, young Lisa is an unforgettable guide through her parents' fascinating and disparate worlds. Part portrait of a complex family, part love letter to California in the '70s and '80s, Small Fry is an enthralling audiobook by an insightful new literary voice.

Emotional, thrilling and relatable
Brennan-jobs really expressed her childhood of hardships very well. I get bored easily of books if they drag on even a
little bit but this really did not bore me. It gives you insight into not only her feelings but how she thinks others might feel.
You really get a deep look into her personality and emotions because she effortlessly relays everything she was actually
experiencing. It's also a really relatable book because even though she is the daughter of Steve Jobs, she doesn't come
off as particularly entitled, authoritative or spoilt and you can relate to her cumbersome life. The way that she displays
her disappointment for her father yet her love and longing for him is amazingly shown. I particularly like how well she
comes off as a real person, as if she is someone that you could actually talk to. The amazing depiction of her character
is exhilarating as you accompany her on her journey of life, identity and understanding. The voice of the narrator is also
quite soothing and nice.
Would definitely recommend this as this is a must read.

The best “Jobs” yet
So well written ~> better than any movie with a fantastic reflective final couple of chapters that all of us company founders can reflect on as parents

Worst book ever
I resented paying for a book dripping with narcissism from a young woman who lacks gratitude. Why was this book published as her father was the genius.
