... well I skipped through about a 1/4 of the half. Not interested in his childhood - skip Already know the story of the early days - skip Started to read letters etc. It is a bit haphazard, kind of all over the place. Might finish it... probably. As to an opinion of Jobs which always happens no matter what the topic is if his name is mentioned. He will go down as one of the most innovative people in the 20th/21st century. He will also go down as a monumental asshole, narcissist and delusional. His best skill was refusing to make crap like everyone else to make a buck. His statement - "Done' make it better, make it different" is the core of everything he did. Most of you have no idea just how bad MP3 play devices were before the iPod. They were a JOKE. iPhone changed everything. No one can take those away from him. But as a human being - yes he sucked. Every level. To everyone that knew him, no exceptions. He was both great and terrible.
