How did he become so successful? The film and articles described Jobs as overall dismissive and condescending towards Brennan. What was he After watching the most recent Steve Jobs' film Fastbender , I was curious about Chrissann Brennan, Jobs' first girlfriend and the eventual mother of his firstborn. What was her view of their relationship? I do enjoy Apple products. I started reading the book with the bias of- 1.
I grew up using an Apple II, 2. We've had both tablets and iPads and the iPad blows all other tablets out of the water, and 3. Oh, and still have and use my old iPod. I've just never had an iMac, however used them at my high school.
So there's all that Several quotes popped out from Brennan's book Yes, this is her perspective and there are many perspectives of Steve Jobs. History has been unkind to this author- it's worth it to read it just to get the whole picture.
It brings evolution of thought and a broader understanding of value in all of us. Her ex-boyfriend was the late Steve Jobs, and she doesn't have much good to say about him. Unfortunately, while I was convinced that he mistreated her, there isn't much out of which to make a page bio. She didn't work with him at Apple, so that huge part of his life is summarized by a few repeated quotes from other employees or headlines from magazine articles he was on a 10 worst bosses list once, etc.
And once you've said he denied paternity of your daughter, told the media you slept aro Her ex-boyfriend was the late Steve Jobs, and she doesn't have much good to say about him. And once you've said he denied paternity of your daughter, told the media you slept around so she could have been anyone's daughter, and lowballed the child support, what else is there to say really?
By the end I almost had a weird rebound sympathy for him as she would recount some insensitive thing he supposedly said at a party 40 years ago and wax outraged about it for 3 or 4 pages. The prevalence of guys who have a lot of conventional success and then develop a big head and become narcissistic and exploitative is unfortunately high -- making this an interesting book-length story would I believe entail getting more of a degree look at his life, not just the vantage point from one person who wanted more from him and never got it.
This book was so deep and so true! I'm very curious about the life of Steve Jobs. Not just about his achievements and him as a visionary, but about him like a real person.
How was he in everyday life? And why was he refusing his daughter? Well, this book'll give you some answers, not all of them I think nobody can give it to us , but It can really help you to understand his life a bit more.
And if you will all connect it together, it gives you the perfect view about his life, try it! If you want some new insights into Steve Jobs the person from someone who knew him intimately and you want to know him more like a person, not like the big businessman, than this is for you! I give it 4. Sep 20, Lara rated it really liked it. I just finished reading this book. Actually read it cover to cover in one day. Day of Atonement. Yom Kippur. No food, no driving, no tv, no phone, no work, no gym..
The book hit close to home for me.. Also beautiful complicated, long haired, bright young men like Steve Jobs populated my high school along with young women finding their way..
Apr 07, Jeff Bush rated it did not like it. I wanted to like this book. I am well aware that Steve Jobs had a dark side and wanted to read this book to hear another side, but Ms. Brennan does not help her case. She consistently reads between the lines with a self-interested take on subjective situations.
About halfway through the book it became clear that Ms. Brennan is just not a reliable narrator. I wish I could say more positive things about this book. I do believe that there is a core of truth to Ms. Brennan's story, but in the end I I wanted to like this book. Brennan's story, but in the end I was not able to untangle what was truth and what was delusion.
Sep 17, Captain added it. Sort of a DNF. I started out strong but her writing style just didn't appeal to me. What a scum bag. Also I still don't understand why tech boys idolize him so much he literally never coded a damn thing.
He never engineered a damn thing. The only thing Steve Jobs was good was manipulating the people around him and taking credit for their work. Sep 23, Asha Nair rated it did not like it Shelves: biography. Found the author overly negative and critical - not my cup of tea to read about how the world owed her something. It was established from the beginning that Steve was an ass to her - that was repeated consistently to the end.
Picked up some life lessons along the way which was good. Found it hard to finish the book due to the negative aspect.
Aug 09, Rebecca Kenneweg rated it did not like it Shelves: She needed an editor! If you want to read a book about a whiny, crazy, narcissist who thinks she's important because she had a thing with another crazy narcissist this is it. Jan 04, Teri Temme rated it liked it.
Though I enjoyed a glimpse into Steve Jobs as a teenager, I didn't appreciate the snipes at Laurene or the repetitive mentioning of a financial settlement.
Nov 23, Nicole rated it really liked it Shelves: non-fiction , memoir. I thought this book provided fascinating look at Steve Jobs, written by someone who knew him way back when and in a way not many others did. Lots of interesting details about their hippy dippy years in the late 60s-early 70s.

My huge takeaway from this book is that Jobs had a rather serious personality disorder of some sort that manifested itself in incredibly inappropriate behavior toward everyone in his life, but especially those closest to him. Thankfully this book is written from the perspective of someone working thru her experiences with Jobs in an honest, examining way that gives no impression at all of any sort of axe to grind against the man. One thing that did raise my hackles a bit is that the author gives the impression that once she had a child, she ceased being even remotely responsible for her own financial stability.
