    <body><![CDATA[I'm a bit of an Apple fan and a Computing student, so I felt that this book would definitely be worth a read for the back story of Apple and computers in general. Having read this I know a lot more about the start of Apple and computers; content is not a problem here.<br/><br/>Steve's (and possibly Gina's?) writing style is, however, atrocious. If you are in ANY way a bit of a grammar Nazi, this will make the book a difficult read. Steve's writing style is obviously meant to convey his enthusiasm and vigour; this doesn't translate well to the written word.<br/><br/>Often whilst reading this I felt it was also a bit boastful. Yes, he is a great man and yes, he did do great things for the industry but the way he describes them makes him sound very arrogant. I'm sure the man himself is nothing like this but that was how the book came across.<br/><br/>All in all, great content but very poor presentation. I'm surprised that the writers involved let this book be published in this style.]]></body>
