The Man Who Thought Different, by Karen Blumenthal
Did you ever wonder about how Steve created Apple? Or that two more people were involved in creating Apple, and one backed out who could have been a billionaire today? How his real parents did not want him and left them with parents who had to finish college before they can have Steve. Well, dive into the biography of Steve jobs and his journey from the beginning to the end of his life. The struggles, the accomplishments, drama, and reality of life.
As I was curious to know more about Steve Job, what happened to him, how did he create apple? Where were his parents throughout the whole process? These questions were answered with deep emotions from Steve himself. As he expresses his regrets, his happiness, his way of living in order to let people understand what a simple guy he was from the start. He was stubborn, kind, affirmative, lack in appearance but worked hard when something crossed his mind. He worked with Wozniak, and wouldn't work without him no matter what. He cared a lot for his friendship more than the creation of Apple which speaks out a lot of his character. He was a college dropout and proved no matter how much education one has, hard work is key. He proved many people wrong, he made apple this amazing technology movement that it is today.
It's a good, informative and interesting read for young students. It involves the understanding on a personal level, with historical moments and understanding great friendship. Students can be able to both learn and enjoy the book. It involves the beginning to the right until the end, with details of his life, moments he discusses, creations he and his partner made, struggles with making this into a buyable product and the success of hard work.
