THE SECOND COMING OF STEVE JOBS

Steve Jobs, one of the founders of Apple Computer, has a history of ups and downs in his business and personal life. His greatest success, Pixar Pictures (maker of TOY STORY), may be his least known. Both loved and hated, often by the same people, he makes great grist for this audio tabloid, reporting all sides of a competent, charismatic, and complex man. Charles Stransky is quick and vital, like his subject. His expressive tones give just enough variation to maintain listener interest but don't overemphasize places that don't deserve it. The story of Jobs and Apple isn't over, so their biographies must be considered a work in progress. J.A.H. (c) AudioFile 2002, Portland, Maine [Published: DEC 02/ JAN 03]
