Patricia Lakin writes a good biography for older children. Actually I found it quite simple and easy to read, not too long, not too much detail, just the story of Steve Jobs and his great contributions to the world of technology.Jobs was a gifted individual who certainly marched to the sound of a different drummer. He dropped out of college, pursued his dreams and was ultimately successful in the world of technology. He was CEO of Apple Inc. and was worth billions of dollars. Who said you have to finish college to succeed? The author traces Steves story from childhood, through college years, through his trip to India and the ups and downs of his life in the technological field.This book is very well written and very suitable for older children and young teens. They need to know about current events and influential people. This is covered very well in this volume. -- Valerie Lull, Author, Ten Healtlhy Teas
Patricia Lakin did an amazing job writing this book. It starts at when he was born to after he died. I learned things that I never knew before. At first when I learned that I needed to read a non fiction book for school from a list we got, I was really bummed out. So I got this book and started reading it. When I finished reading for the day, I was already half way done with it! That's how good it was. It made a kid like me who didn't want to read over the summer read the entire book in a few days!
I really loved this book. It is an easy read and I could not put it down. The subject, Steve Jobs, intrigues me..The book is not long, but by the time it is finished one knows what made Steve Jobs tick.I appreciated the book's honesty in mentioning some aspects of Steve's character which were lacking. This made him human. His fight with cancer was also brave and inspiring.I recommend this book.
My 12 year old daughter is reading this book. She keeps getting confused. One moment the writer is talking about 1967 which Steve Jobs would be 12. The next sentence they are talking about when he's 11. Then there is a paragraph that I tried to read about when he was 11 in 6th grade Crittenden Middle School where he was considered gifted but instead of putting him with his own peers they put him with much older kids. Very confusing sentence why is a 6th grader who's gifted with 6th graders who are much older. What is much older & why are much older kids in 6th grade? Sorry that doesn't make sense. Then a few paragraphs later it states when hes in 7th grade he is a whole year younger then the rest of his peers. most kids are 5 when they start kindergarten so being 12 in 7th grade is the norm. She is so frustrated she doesn't even want to read it anymore. I guess we are reading a different book then the other reviewers. Id rent it from the library before wasting your money.
Targets students ages 8-12. Challenging reading for that age group with concepts they may not always grasp.Very well written. Good coverage of important early years and influences. More suitable for ages 11 and up.
I liked this book because it explained his life and now I know more about all the apple products. It teaches a lesson that people could be a naughty person at the beginning of their life and be an excellent person and a role model later in life
I thought this book would be boring and tedious to read by it wasn't. The book was surprising exciting and just when you though Steve Jobs couldn't do anymore he does something revolutionary.
Steve Jobs, First CEO of Apple, Shareholder of Pixar, Father of NExT, you would think he was a good person and ever thing else good. WRONG!!!!!! Read this true tale of a man you thoight you knw.
