The fact that Karen Blumenthal is a "critically acclaimed" writer and journalist mystifies me. This biography felt like it was written by a child who heard about Steve Jobs from a friend of a friend. Anyone who cares to know about the life of Jobs should read Walter Issacson's book instead of this nonsense.

Framed by Jobs' iconic speech at a Stanford College graduation ceremony, and the three stories he told the students, about connecting the dots, love and loss, and mortality, this biography gives a succinct and balanced account of Jobs' life, his successes and his failures, his passions and his ideals, and his infamously polarized personality. The author actively annotates the backstory of Jobs with references from
