    Based on more than 40 interviews with Jobs conducted over two years—as well as interviews with more than a hundred family members, friends, adversaries, competitors, and colleagues—Walter Isaacson has written a riveting story of the roller-coaster life and searingly intense personality of a creative entrepreneur whose passion for perfection and ferocious drive revolutionized six industries: personal computers, animated movies, music, phones, tablet computing, and digital publishing.

    Did Dylan Baker do a good job differentiating all the characters? How?

    First time listening to Baker. At first I didnt care for him, and then he warms up on you. A couple of hours into the book I got used to his tone and and his performance.


    Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

    Way to long to swallow in one sitting.


    Any additional comments?

    I enjoyed how Isaacson discussed Jobs and Apple by both chronological order and the product lines. He mixes the two approaches very well and that keeps a long book very interesting.

    Story
    (5)

    How we ultimately gained the American Customary System, the last traditional system in the world, and how Gunter's chain indelibly imprinted its dimensions on the land, on cities, and on our culture from coast to coast is both an exciting human and intellectual drama and one of the great untold stories in American history. Sagely argued and beautifully written, Measuring America offers readers nothing less than the opportunity to see America's history, and our democracy, in a brilliant new light.

    Very Interesting subject. 5 hour book would have covered it. At 11 hours the subject gets too drawn out to maintain your interest.
