Abridged Audiobook
I never met Steve Jobs, so I can't say if this book is accurate, but after listening to Walter's fascinating biography I really feel like I got to know Steve. Not only is that a sign of a good writer, but a good researcher too. My tech friends who met Steve have a lot of good things to say about the book too. Walter's book on Einstein is also to be recommended.
This narrator has a smooth voice that is easy to listen to for long periods of time. No matter what field of work you choose Steve Jobs' determination is inspirational.
wonderful book with a huge insight into his life definitely does not feel sugar coated. it's incredible to see the thought process that went on in his head especially when it came to the development of these monumental technologies and to the way that he dealt with his cancer
Great read very inspirational there’s a lot to glean off this book on what to do and what not to do no matter how much money it gets you!
Great book and great narration I didn’t know about half the stuff this guy did .This is fascinating listen he was a brilliant complicated man if you have a smart phone you should get this book
Great book. Unbearable narration, so annoying and over the top. Unfortunately the only narration I could find.
I feel like this book did justice to who Steve was. A highly misunderstood Genius and ruthless at times who tried his best to leave the world better than he found it.
A very compelling story and well read by the narrator. I couldn't stop listening.
A great story, well written.
An amazing book, giving insight in the personality of one of the greatest persons to have walked in this planet. Definitely a must read/listen.
Steve Jobs great read! Fascinating story of the amazing entrpreneur
I never knew much about Steve Jobs and I cannot validate the accuracy of this book. I did appreciate Walter's biography on Steve Jobs. It's clear that Walter’s put a great deal of research and commitment into his passion. I do believe that I got to know Steve Jobs through Walter’s work. The narrator Dylan Baker, in my opinion, made this book much bigger that it actually was. I could listen for hours because he was so easy to listen to. I am looking forward to Walter's book on Einstein.
Absolute masterpiece. I don't know why this book got so much bad rap from Apple insiders. This book is a masterpiece that correct portrays jobs as the man he was (immature and often delusional) when he was young to becoming someone who became a supreme CEO of a failing company and turned it around. I have read other books of jobs, but not many of them correctly reflect upon jobs' amazing accomplishments as this book does. And the author does so by taking different approaches to the many aspects of jobs' life and masterfully wove it together so that you get a complete understanding of who the man truly is. I really don't think this book was harmful to jobs reputation. If anything, i only have an increased appreciation of the genius he was and have respect for the dedication to something he was truly passionate about. Narration was also excellent but somewhat very slow; i listened to the book often at x2 the speed.
Shallow story telling, lack of details in history. An awfully long version of a two hour book
I'm glad I've read this book. It was an excellent window into the evolution of things that are so much a part of our lives. Though it was good information, it was not a stellar book. I found it to be choppy and it left a lot of unanswered questions. It was very dense on names that were hard to keep up with in a 24 hour book.
At times repetitive, but it was really interesting reading about Steve Jobs' childhood, his start in the tech world, the friends and enemies he acquired, and the various ways he revolutionized the tech world. There is no going back. No similar visionary has emerged to replace him, and his loss was a loss for mankind.
I rarely bother to add reviews, but I must say that Isaacson's work here is marvelous. Steve Jobs was a complex character and Emily characitured, b ut Isaacson's portrays him as fully human. Reviews t often comment on the technical quality of a recording, but the narrator of this book was great-added to the overall enjoyment.
Great book. Great insight on a complicated genius.
Very well written and the Narrator worked well for the book.
I apologize for expounding on this review, but I enjoyed this glimpse into Steve Jobs' life. The narrator Dylan Baker felt like a perfect fit for Isaacson's enjoyable work. This book was the reason I joined this service and I have more than gotten my money's worth.
Great! I've read many books about Jobs and Apple and this is by far the best.
