Summary: being a fly on the wall
Review: Well I read Infinite Loop but refused to finish it. But this particular book I finished and want to read again. I just have a few questions though. Was he as ubiquitous as this book exemplifies Steve Jobs as? The detail of this book scares me and I hope never to meet Alan Deutschman.

Summary: Who became genius because he was a psychotic
Review: Well, here in Korea I read this book ( translated in Korean ). It's a good book to Apple advocates. I can't understand how people could endure him. As a CEO, he looks the worst man. I think he is not so successful man. He lost many chances, for example, Mac as a de-facto-standard OS, NeXTStep as a de-facto-standard Unix. Even now he loses another chance. MacOS X on Intel. Anyway, there seems to be no hope to get back market from the Windows. ( It's not MSX/CP/M/AppleII/Mac/ATARI/Commodore/ Q-DOS world anymore. Only Windows rules. )Anyway, the book is well written. Must-Read for Apple-holics like me.

Summary: The crucifixion of Steve Jobs?
Review: When I first read that Steve Jobs called Alan Deutschman's unofficial biography of him "a hatchet job," I must admit that I was skeptical. After all, the easily bruised egos of our society's icons seem to go out looking for insult. If the entire globe isn't gushing over their most recent accomplishment, they isolate themselves in their mansions and feel betrayed. Adulation for them is a requirement. But I'm afraid that in the final analysis I have to agree with Mr. Jobs, this book really is a hatchet job! The defining reason for this is simple: Alan Duetschman finds every opportunity to expand upon Steve Job's character flaws and idiosyncrasies to the point of ad nauseum. He even puts the form of his own book at risk - repeating stories, analogies, and leaving loose ends. If your the kind of reader who loves gossip, and your idea of heaven is curling up with a GQ article on a cold winter night, then I highly recommend this book. But if your interested in trivia like character development or learning history, then skip it.

Summary: Another look at Steve Jobs
Review: Written with the support of small tidbits this second look at Steve Jobs and his second coming at Apple has been some time in coming. One area where this books socres is the build up of the events which give us a picture of Steve on his second coming. It has some personal trivia like his motivating the assistant of the previous boss Amelio in his own unimmitable way or his tapping of the emails of the employees for accosting them later. Overall it is just another confirmation of the variant briliance that is Steve. But haven't we already known much about Apple's "interim chairman" from Sculley's autobiography and other works?

Summary: Insanely Inspirational
Review: You will find it difficult to put down this book even if you are not an Apple fan. The writer's metaphors and his captivating humorous writing style led his readers to discover the intriguing and engimatic Steve Jobs. I find it to be inspirational; one should never give up their dream but continue with tenacity to make it their second coming even if you are no Steve Jobs. I only knew that I want to meet Steve Jobs like any star struck teenager after reading this book, except that this "star" has not been in any blockbuster movies.
