Amazing Story

What made the experience of listening to Steve Jobs the most enjoyable?

We've all heard the stories but this book proves just how tough a competitor Steve Jobs was during this short but significant life.I grew up with the first Apple computers so the Jobs story was a must read/listen.His passion for great products changed the world and although he was incredibly rude and difficult he made people perform when they didn't believe they could - he was inspirational.There will be other books about the technical side of Apple but this is about the man - an honest tale that makes an already great story .. even better.
