3.0 out of 5 stars Short Summary, February 4, 2008

This review is from: Bill Gates: Computer Mogul and Philanthropist (People to Know Today) (Library Binding)

This book is a short and concise summary of how Bill Gates first got started with computers, how his interest continued to develop, and the steps he took that got him where he is today. This book met my expectation of finding out about Bill Gates and things he contributes to.

It mentioned how his teachers and parents tried to get him interested in things besides computers which helped make him more sociable. Bill Gates had an unique combination of talent: both computer savvy and business savvy. That's how he made all his money, by making the most of his abilities. His parents are the ones who showed him he needed to use some of his money to help others.
