Steve Jobs had a huge impact on the computer and animation industries, and mr. Walter does a good job of describing what he did, but there's not much about how. I guess, as someone who is part of this industry, I am interested in topics that the book does not try to cover.

There's very little about management practices or theory, and since Steve was an entrepreneur and built the most valuable company ever, a little bit more focus on these areas would be good. The book goes on and on about how Steve loves product, and built products, and designed products, but not properly describing the process.

Still, as a biography, it's impossible to cover everything, and I would forgive this if Walter did not end the book as a Steve-fanboy. Maybe his Reality Distortion Field got Walter, but some of the superlatives went too far. I can agree that Steve molded the personal computer industry and changed the music forever, but to say that he revolutionized books, television, games, etc... it was too much.

Still, the characterization of Steve's bad parts is laudable, complete, and entertaining. His many flaws are fully portrayed, and I imagine it took Walter a lot of diplomacy to get them on print.
