Title: Nice try Malone...could have been way, way better!
Product review: Another so-so book in the HISTORY OF APPLE genre. Given Malone's rep in the Valley I was expecting a much better effort. Major gripes : 1) No photo sections. Duh! Inexcusable in an almost 600 page/$27.50 retail book from a major publisher 2) lots of annoying typos throughout the book. 3) too much reliance on work by other authors, not enough first hand interviews by Malone. 4) Loads of trite pop psychology theories about Jobs and Wozniak behavior and state of mind. 5) Latter half of the book much worse, more rushed than the first half. Typically seen when the publisher is bearing down on the author to get the title to market. Malone should have resisted. Maybe the second edition will address all this but probably not.....
