Steve Jobs: A book which carries so much weight.

Following the death of Steve Jobs, many were looking for the release of Walter Isaacson's biography on the man himself. It was met with a great deal of anticipation and extremely high expectations. After reading the first chapter, I can say without a doubt that Isaacson successfully captures the essence of Job's that is required to write such a hotly anticipated topic. Isaacson is known for writing a great deal of other biographies, and before Steve Jobs he was known for his highly acclaimed biography on Abraham Lincoln. Chapter 1 of Steve Jobs  is aptly titled Childhood. In this chapter, Jobs provides a background perspective on where Jobs came from. It provided a perspective of a very troubled child, one who never really fit in. Jobs was found to be extremely intelligent though; in fourth grade he was found to have the intelligence level of a high school sophomore and was recommended to skip two grades. I really enjoyed this chapter as it provided a perspective on Jobs that I had never knew. The chapter was particularly enhanced with a great deal of dialogue. Some stories could be played out as flashbacks through Isaacson's mix of vivid imagery and first person imagery. The reason why this biography is particularly effective, is the fact that Isaacson had many interviews with Jobs before his death. This allowed him to really develop a full character of Jobs which plays out through the first chapter, and should throughout the rest. Isaacson plays out Jobs' life as if it was a fictional story, everything seems so vivid as if you were in Jobs' life yourself. I found his writing quite impressive, and was never bored. I really look forward to seeing how Jobs evolved over time, and to see the many different stories that were never revealed before.
