Amazing book

This book opened my mind to the apple brand and how steve jobs left his mark on the world, it inspires me and it amazes me. As a consequence I am now buying a MacBook Pro 2016. This book does not promote Apple but it does display it perfectly.

Insightful but the narration could have been better

This is my second run through of this book and it was even more insightful and impressive second time around. A great tale which gives a real sense of understanding more about what made Steve Jobs such an intrigued (and divisive) figure.

The only downside is the narration, which is dull and lacks any sort of emotional connection with the text itself. However, if you can endure it the story is worth it

One of the greatest inventor of all time

Definitely this is the story about one of the greatest inventor of all time. But I feel the plot-line keeps repeating the same theme about Steve Jobs, that is his tantrum from the begining up until the end of the story. I feel there are more to tell about Steve Jobs. Overall I give 4/5 for the storyline, maybe 3/5 for the naration.
