Steve Jobs - The Man Who Thought Different  
Biography by Karen Blumenthal
 
Since the day we learn to read, nearly every child immediately comes to the conclusion that biography equals boring. However, after reading the book Steve Jobs: The Man Who Thought Different, I realized that the childhood assumption is not necessarily true.This non-fiction heroic journey follows the life of internationally known inventor and innovator, Steve Jobs. When we first meet Jobs, he is a young boy that has to navigate his way through meager friendships and relations with his teachers. Though these early events seem insignificant at first, the book does a fantastic job of really showing the connections between his tough childhood, to his countless successions as an adult. Adopted, fired, and eventually known world-wide for his life-changing products, Steve Jobs accomplished more in forty years than most people do in one lifetime. Though this book isn’t an action-packed adventure filled with car chases and intergalactic battles, it is still a story worth telling. Steve Jobs: The Man Who Thought Different epitomizes the greatness of human spirit, and teaches the reader that one person’s actions can ultimately change the world. “Going to bed and saying we’ve done something wonderful...” says Mr. Jobs, “... that’s what matters to me.”
