REVIEW: "iKona. Steve Jobs, "William Simon and Jeffrey Young

Today I would like to share with you impressions from reading the book, compiled by Jeffrey Young and William Simon, entitled "iKona. Steve Jobs». When reading books about famous people so quite difficult to perceive information objectively, as a fan of the product with an apple on the housing always will find in every act of his idol positive, while haters are willing and able to throw mud at anyone who belongs to the camp enemy.

I do not want to stir up another meaningless holivar first and foremost going to talk about the purpose for which this book has been taken, namely to learn more about the life of such a powerful man.

I think that knowing about the biography, life principles and all aspects of well-known people are very useful, because success often depends on exactly how and what a person does, and you can always take out of this is something for themselves. This book is more deeply affected by work activities Jobs, and this may disappoint those who want to learn a lot of personal life. Of course, the book describes many aspects, starting with Steve's childhood through his revolution in the music industry, but wherein a sufficient number of interesting facts that are present in the biography of Isaacson, not described here It was.

The second major remark to the book will be, perhaps, a little muddled narrative. In other words, sometimes there is a feeling that the author was a hard limit on the number of pages, and they were trying to fit all the thoughts and facts in this limit. Frequent transitions and leaps in time during the story sometimes causes difficulties and was forced to return to a couple of paragraphs ago, to restore history for themselves.

The rest of the book is fully justified expectations. The more you know about the person, the less they like it. It is a sad rule works very often. Applies it to the Jobs. Someone directly connects its success with its inherent negative traits that helped him achieve his position, and this is the truth. However, some details of his relationship with colleagues and even the closest people to cause only negative. If we go back to the only professional activities, the methods used to achieve the purposes Jobs is certainly worthy of admiration.

iKona certainly be interesting to anyone who wants to know more about the giants, thanks to whom the world of computers and information technology now looks like this.
