Book Description

8 and upReal-Life Reader Biography
Real-Life Reader Biographies present the lives of contemporary role models for young readers. These are the stories of real men and women who, despite many obstacles, followed their dreams.

If ever there were a person whom we could accuse of "thinking differently," it would be Steve Jobs. Though he is largely responsible for the fate of Apple Computer, Inc., he did not invent the personal computers Apple sells. That is mostly attributed to his partner, Steve Wozniak. Jobs claims that "Woz" was the first person he met who knew more about electronics than he did. As young kids back in the 1970s, Jobs and Woz started Apple Computer in Jobs' garage with $1,300 the two had saved.

When Jobs was twenty years old, he made his first million dollars. He made his first billion when he was forty. He is one of the most important people in two different revolutions that enrich and entertain all of us today--the movies. But when Steve Jobs was born, he had nothing, not even a mom or a dad. His biological parents gave him up for adoption. He was lucky to be adopted by some wonderful people who made Steve important in their lives.

Here is the story of Steve Jobs and his incredible rise to the top of the business world.

This review is from: Steve Jobs (Real-Life Reader Biography) (Library Binding)
This is a "Young Reader" Book. Upon closer inspection, I see that the description on the website of the book say's it is only 32 pages, and only about a 1/4 of an inch thick. The text is also very large. This is for your 5th and 6th grade reading level. It is my own fault that I bought this book. I thought it was going to be much larger and a more in depth look at Steve Jobs. This is by no means a $15.00 book. Perhaps a $5.00 book would be more appropriate. This is definitly a 'Kids' Book.
