I haven’t written a book report since high school – and I’m pretty sure those sucked anyway, but I wanted to give my thoughts on Steve Jobs by Walter Isaacson.
I, like so many, pre-ordered the book after his death (when the publication date was moved up). I used the store in the iBooks app on my iPad to order. I’m up late (for me) watching the World Series and Sunday Night Football and using my iPad to track scores and stats when I get the alert that the book is ready to download. What was cool is that they released the book at 12:00 AM Eastern – so I got the book (in my mind) early. I decide to just read the first chapter and then get to bed. The problem was that I couldn’t put it down.
I don’t know if it was because everything seems so fresh based on his recent passing or it was that gripping, but I kept reading . . . and reading . . . until I was done. Fortunately, I read pretty fast, so it didn’t keep me up all night. As I was surfing this morning, I’ve noticed a lot of reviews about the book, so thought I would add my take on it as well.
