  1. It was inaccurate and some were complete lies.
    Walter did not do his complete homework and improvised on many personal issues of Steve and the family and many sides of him were missing.

  2. Great book — loved it. Very inpspiring…I enjoyed Mr Isaacson’s writing enough to seek out some of his other biographies…

    I was surprised that there was never any mention of the fact that some of the characters in Monsters Inc were named after some of the people in the early Apple days ie John Scully…after the bitter breakup was Steve trying to mend fences or take shots?
