Reviews About “Steve Jobs” by “Walter Isaacson”

If you read one biography of Steve Jobs, it should be Walter Isaacson’s, Steve Jobs. While there is a lot of information about Steve out there in various formats, few have been written by a guy who spent months with Steve as he lived his last days. In fact, many of Apple’s leaders participated in interviews for Mr. Issacson during his research for Inside Apple as well as his follow-up book Steve Jobs. This alone sets these books apart from anything else written about Mr. Jobs or Apple. The other difference is that Isaacson was able to interview many more people than most (if not all) biographers and journalists writing about Mr. Jobs or Apple do. Furthermore, even if they did speak with some of these people (most don’t), they didn’t share their notes nor did they make recordings of their conversations like Mr. Issacson has done.
