Meg Belviso's Biography of Steve Jobs

Presentelaw: Great book. My son loved it. Said it was sad. Steve's last words, as he looked at his family before he passed, were, "oh wow, oh wow, oh wow."

Brent: Ok, I like a book as true story with Steve Jobs. He was famous Businessman and Inventor in the United States. I always remember this Apple Computer equipment including Black / White Monitor, Keyboard, Drives and Printer while I was in my old High School classroom from 1981 to 1986. I was a young teenager and did not learn about Steve Jobs.

Deena: Very well written with limited information for a 8yr old to understand. We love all the who was and who is books from the same publisher.

Christopher P Hanson: Larger print and many drawings give this book appeal for ESL students at a B1 or B2 level. Sometimes there just isn't space to say a bit more.

JR: This book was amazing! It was short and included many details about Steve Jobs. What surprised me the most was the fact that he was so poor and then became a billionaire. "Steve couldn't pay for college". "Steve Jobs was a success- a big success. He wasn't a millionaire anymore. He was a billionaire." Steve Jobs has showed me that it doesn't matter where you come from, you can be a success. That a poor child can go from having no money to becoming one of the richest and youngest men alive.

H101: Between this book and a documentary on YouTube-actually his dissertation to Stanford on YouTube were great information for a report for my 12-year-old daughter.

I really appreciated learning about his tenacity to work for what he believed in.

I don't know all the closed-door stuff about him of course or his real life, but it seems seems was really an amazing person when it came to work anyways.

Though it seemed he may of been difficult to work with at times it also seems he really had a knack for seeing the talent and beauty in a lot of different people and objects.

It also opened the discussion with my daughter about the fragility of life, and no matter how much money you have....we have to really think about the things that are worth living for...and loving for.

Northernlights: My son just read this book and we have several of the series. I'm waiting for the authors to do one on Dennis Ritchie, since he died a week after Steve Jobs and was arguably just as important if not more so, to computers and technology. Not as shiny though. Which is why they ought to write about him.

Michael N.: Ich bin schon länger kein Kind mehr und kann nicht genau sagen, wie verständlich oder interessant das für welche Altersgruppe ist, aber für den angehenden Nerd, das kommende Geek Girl oder wahrscheinlich die enthusiastischen Eltern ist das eine schöne Lektüre, die schon beim Durchblättern (z.B. auf dem iPad) wegen der Illustrationen große Freude macht. Aber auch für alle, denen Walter Isaacson's Steve Jobs Biographie zu umfangreich ist und die sich lieber ein einfaches Englisch wünschen ist dieser Band empfehlenswert, zumal man dafür weniger als den Gegenwert eines koffeinhaltigen Getränks mit Milchschaum investieren braucht.
