Movie versus book


The movie wasn't very good but the biography by Walter Isaacson about Steve Jobs it is based on is great. If you saw this movie before reading that book, I send my condolences. The movie must've been a confusing, irritating bore.

Actually it wasn't, and it inspired me to read the book. Then, after reading it, I re-watched this.

Absolutely. I never had an interest in reading a Jobs biography (then again, I never thought I'd have an interest in a G.W.Bush biography, but I'm half way through one of those lol).

But I really enjoyed this movie and the book is on my to-read list now.

It's really quite good. Shed some really good light on Jobs' family background. And the movie itself isn't really based on the book since the movie was more from the perspective of various product launches rather than his life as a whole.
