Steve Jobs Autiobiography

I really enjoyed this audiobook and the history behind Apple. Got to the stage that I had to listen to as much as possible to get it finished, I listened in the car, in the house and in bed!

Brilliant and educational

I would never have read this if I didn't belong to a book club - it was excellent. Steve was a brilliant guy albeit difficult. Recommended.

Reading let it down

This is a long audiobook and I thought it would drag but I found the writing and story compelling. It felt like an honest representation. What a brilliant, but strange and sometimes unpleasant man.

However, the reading let it down for me. It wasn’t the quality of the recording but I didn’t like the intonation, pronunciation or articulation. It may be because I’m British rather than American but it grated on me.

amazing man but a bit of a .....

his determination and pure stubborn drive are most admirable and you can see it is still present in the apple business today.

great insight into a whiny genius

This was a fantastic insight into the man-child genius Steve Jobs. It is on the long side but worth the listen.

Exhausted but exhilarated, bring it on....

Superb, informative unputdownable , clear the decks and be prepared for a marathon listen. Walter Isaacson is a master at bringing together and presenting complex individuals that have gained reputations not easily understood, Isaacson has the gift and genius to recognise this and present his biography’s that do justice to both the subject and most importantly the listener. Steve Jobs legacy will be remembered in history, this story gives an insight into The now familiar Apple company it’s history and it’s progress good and bad you will end up admiring Steve Jobs his quirky ness and his desire for quality and perfection much the same as Leonardo da Vinci the parallels are there for all to see, enjoy.

The inside story. The low-down.

A cruise through the life of the greatest tech genius of them all. An excellent biography written candidly and without bias. Riveting.
