Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

This is a book that is entertaining as it is hard to read. Sad to say but I was raised by a sociopath and I feel that I had a better child hood than the author did. This book will bring a tear to your eye and well as a few laughs. One of the most heart rending stories is when Steve Jobs finally brings home a NeXT computer for Lisa to have. (She had been wanting one for about a year.) Only to find out that is does not work and he eventually removes it from her room. Let’s face it the guy had a genius for design but he was also a sadist. No doubt about the last one. The book mentions how Stevie baby took the whole family to Hawaii and while enjoying the climate of such a beautiful place he took time out to basically torture a parrot. He was teasing it with food trying to determine if it would learn the lesson not to lean for the food when he dangled it in front of the bird. (Can you imagine how many human beings he performed this exact exercise on in this life time.) Sooo thanks for making the effort to write this book. My parents moved up several notches by the time that I finished reading this master work. (I never thought that would happen.) The most important point of this story to me is….a beautiful lady was able to weather the storm of bad parenting (both by the way) and basically willed herself into Harvard. Ms. Brennan-Jobs you are a survivor and also an inspiration.
