But, joking aside, I was fascinated by Jobs and wanted to read more about the man behind the brand. What I learned was not shocking nor surprising. Enough had been said about him as a person before to be able to put together a rough draft about the way that Jobs lead his personal life. His professional style however, the one that made Apple and Pixar so great was unrelenting drive for better, better design, better functions better things. The mercurial tantrums and drive for perfection that made you either a genius or a shit in his mind were what made him iconic and infamous. His fruitarian freak diets, his desire for personal peace contrasted with his drive and ambition and need to be the best. His complex personal relationships and his unwavering desire for his vision of the world. I found those parts of the book worth the price of admission, and more. Yes everyone knows Steve Jobs was a dick- but a brilliant one- it was the book itself that disappointed me.
Okay, from the opening sentence of this review I admitted I am not a biography reader, but I found this book disjointed, repetitive and poorly drafted in places. Come on, I know it is a long book, but Isaacson must have assumed that the reader has no short term memory for all the repetition. I also disliked the non-linear format. Perhaps it is a matter of trying to chose which way to lead the reader, chronological or thematic, but I believe that lead to the repetitive nature of the book. Oh and did I mention, I felt Isaacson was too repetitive? Get the point?
I wanted to give the book 4 stars, but just couldn't. While I know most of the book was written and researched before Jobs died it did feel a bit rushed and tight as it could have been.(less)

Hands down my favorite character was the editor who finds peace in a pool full of baby turtles and starts to speak in "tongues" by repeating his favorite alliterative headlines.(less)

While I found it interesting, as part of my job we did the full Gallup talent process, which includes this test and the full 34 strengths in order. It made it much more comprhensive and understandable and frankly more usable in my work.(less)

I am a late comer to the Ian Rankin books, and not reading them in order, but enjoying them nonetheless.(less)
