If One Book in my life ... This is It
Reviewed: 10-13-17
This needs patience as build up is slow. Once company is started .... Its a roller coaster. Well written book. But Steve Job's story is so much like a movie. Really enjoyed going through the book. Best chapter for me:
a. Pixar's success
b. His come back
c. Ipod and Itunes
Highly recommend.
