| 1. | excellent sundeck reading |
| (gainesville,ga) May 19, 2005 - 5.0/5 stars |
| While completing a website: www.linuxfree.net A friend pass this title
along to me. Excellent read. Just five years ago Mac was just another
bland corporate player. Since the inclusion of (smooth) well-developed and
managed... read full review |

| 2. | Lighten up, Steve. |
| (gainesville,ga) May 18, 2005 - 5.0/5 stars |
| You would think, with all the fuss Steve Jobs is making about this new
release, that it would be the worst hatchet job since "Wired" massacered
the late John Bulushi.
In actuality, the approach to the project was
even-handed... read full review |

| 3. | Gives better view of Jobs |
| (Eagle Creek, IN) June 1, 2005 - 5.0/5 stars |
| I'm not sure what Apple's fuss was about. Free publicity? After reading
it, I have a more favorable view of Steve Jobs than I did before. |

| 4. | I Have a Very Favorable Opinion of Mr. Jobs Now |
| (Cincinnati, OH USA) May 25, 2005 - 5.0/5 stars |
| After reading this book I have come away with a much more favorable opinion
of Steve Jobs. He is the flawed hero type. I found this to be a very
enlightening and motivating story. Steve Jobs is the epiteme of the New... read full review |

| 5. | Another Classic about the Master |
| (Sausalito, CA USA) May 3, 2005 - 5.0/5 stars |
| A Jedi Master of Sorts. Steve does execute well. He does know how to groom
a few good men (notice the team of Apple drones who follow him at
MacWorld, most are men). and he does know how to put on a great keynote.
The rest... read full review |

| 6. | Jobs comes out of this well, but has it been censored? |
| (Sausalito, CA USA) May 29, 2005 - 5.0/5 stars |
| Like the excellent book about Dean Kamen, Code Name Ginger, this is a
gripping read which paints a warts-and-all picture of its subject. Both
Kamen and Jobs have tried to interfere with the publication of 'their'
respective... read full review |

| 7. | Fascinating |
| (Jersey) May 14, 2005 - 5.0/5 stars |
| I've long been intrigued by the Steve Jobs story as well as the early days
of company-building and conflict between he and Bill Gates. This book is a
real page-turner as it explores the connection between... read full review |

| 8. | Horrible Book Title |
| (Indiana) May 23, 2005 - 4.0/5 stars |
| I can't imagine the Apple folks being happy with the title of the book. Is
it:
a) iCon -- a symbol or emblem?
b) iCon -- as in
"I've conned you into buying a Mac."
c) all of the above.
Somebody's in trouble somewhere... |

| 9. | iCon disingenuous |
| (Indiana) May 31, 2005 - 1.0/5 stars |
| I, too, had deep interest in this book and the blow up about it being
pulled from shelves only added to the excitement. Surely the book must
contain some radical exposé... something exceptionally juicy, right?
But the most... read full review |
