This well-written biography introduces computer genius and Apple co-founder Steve Jobs. From the mischievous boy and free-spirited college dropout to the outspoken, often emotional businessman and entrepreneur, Lakin's narrative relies heavily on Jobs's own words, business and news articles, and the recent Walter Isaacson adult biography. The absence of supplemental photographs and back matter weakens an otherwise thorough portrayal. Source notes.
