Narration As Books Steve Jobs: The Man Who Thought Different
"Your time is limited. . . . have the courage to follow your heart and intuition."--Steve Jobs From the start, his path was never predictable. Steve Jobs was given up for adoption at birth, dropped out of college after one semester, and at the age of twenty, created Apple in his parents' garage with his friend Steve Wozniack. Then came the core and hallmark of his genius--his exacting moderation for perfection, his counterculture life approach, and his level of taste and style that pushed all boundaries. A devoted husband, father, and Buddhist, he battled cancer for over a decade, became the ultimate CEO, and made the world want every product he touched. Critically acclaimed author Karen Blumenthal takes us to the core of this complicated and legendary man while simultaneously exploring the evolution of computers. Framed by Jobs' inspirational Stanford commencement speech and illustrated throughout with black and white photos, this is the story of the man who changed our world.List Containing Books Steve Jobs: The Man Who Thought Different

I'm writing this review on my MacBook Pro, whilst listening to music on iTunes. My iPhone sits beside me and my mum is currently using my iPad. I love Apple products and I use them everyday - in fact, I'd feel lost without them. Most of you will either own at least one of Apple's products, or know somebody who does. Even if you don't, you surely must've watched or heard of a Pixar film, such as Toy Story or Finding Nemo. It's pretty clear what sort of impact that Apple and Pixar have had on theI'm stamping this book with 5 stars- which i rarely do- for bias reasons if i may say, thothis does not rule out the author in anyway.An easy and quick read, summarizing the life of the man of our age Steve jobs.I'm considering this book as a starter to get my facts straight and know of the late Apple cofounder better, before truly embarking on a genuine exploration voyage of his life.This book made me just so eager to read Isaacson's, on whom i'm setting very high expectations.As to Jobs
Although this book wasnt made by the original autobiographer, it was easy to read and was very engaging. It has lots of advice that you can adopt in your personality and learn from Steve. You wont be able to be like Jobs, but you can learn from him. Stay hungry, stay foolish

I started reading this book after selecting it from the bookshelf in the ELA classroom. As Steve Jobs was a very inspiring person to me, I started reading the book, and it proved to be very interesting.In the biography, I was mostly interested by the entire timeline, especially parts describing his friendships and collaborations with his friends and buddies who were also interested in the same topics as him. However, the sections of the story, in my opinion, were very tedious and the repetition
Steve Jobs:The Man Who Thought Different is a great biography of the man who built Apple, Steve Jobs. The book follows Steves ideas through high school, college, and finally through his career. Not only does the book show what he did, but also why he did what he did. That part of the book is more important for readers then what he did and showed a full picture of who Steve Jobs was.
Well, now I don't have to read Isaacson's bio! This book uses that and a lot of other good sources to write a bio of Jobs for a young teen audience. The early parts of Jobs' life I thought were handled tastefully and in a way young teens would get - he was a jerk who seldom showered! No wonder he got fired! I felt his flailing with Next and with Pixar lacked a little context - remember these are kids who never knew a world without Pixar - what did that company mean? Then, when he returns to
