Reactions:
“By the time of his death, Steve Jobs had become an icon of the business world, having achieved a stature that only a few American business executives have ever reached. Jobs was complex enough and accomplished so much during his life that no single biography is going to provide everything that could be written about him. I do have the feeling that it may be the closest yet.” – Phil in Magnolia

“Overall, Becoming Steve Jobs is an engaging biography of Jobs’ life that neither sugarcoats his shortcomings nor belittles his brilliance. Rather, it confirms in a well-researched and well-told story what those closest to Jobs have said for years: that despite his weaknesses — many of which he grew to overcome — Steve was a great man.” – Jesse McCarthy

“Regardless of your thoughts on Jobs, it cannot easily be denied that Jobs was a true revolutionary, and Becoming Steve Jobs paints an unvarnished picture of the true genius that he was, providing the reader with an opportunity to take in the landscape and draw his or her own conclusions about Mr. Jobs.” – P.K. Simon

“Overall this book glosses over the negative and tries to explain Steve Jobs’s personality. Since this ultimately tries to get to Jobs’s motivation and values, I found I learned something new and it gave me food for thought about my own relationships at work and at home.” – Alberto Vargas

“Everything that can be said about this book has been said, but as someone who followed Jobs with some interest and thought he already knew his story, I can say this book added so much depth and texture to the man’s life. Real insight.” – Brian Brown
