I admit it. I actually liked Wesley on TNG. Probably because I would have killed to be on the real Enterprise (if it were a real space ship) or an actor on the show. And, don't worry Wil, I wasn't looking for a rehash of Star Trek. I knew what the book was about and was interested in how Wil's thoughts on TNG and acting evolved. I enjoyed the story and the way thoughts from the blog were interwoven. It wasn't as much a chronological story as a chronology of thought and emotion. Very enjoyable.

It was interesting learning the history of Apple and other projects Woz was part of. However, I had trouble with the style of his writing. It read more like he was an enthusiastic teenager boasting to friends. Some of the writing seemed repetitive and almost child-like. This made it difficult for me to take seriously enough to really enjoy. Still, it was worth getting his perspective on Apple and the growth of computer technology.

This book provides a very interesting view inside Apple. Given the sources cited, it appears to be fairly accurate, but it would be impossible to tell for sure. The authors perspective on Apple products and the company seems pretty balanced. The only thing I'm not sure about are some of the conclusions he draws about the future of the company. He certainly is entitled to express an opinion, but I'm not sure I agree with it. He also portrays his opinion as if it were quite likely and agreed to by other pundits. Still, this was a good read.

Moving, sexy, politically relevant - a true gem

It's hard to describe this book. It's modern with talk of social media, it's classic with literary references, it's historic with snippets of American and British history. But mostly, it's a great coming out and love story.

This book was a lot of fun to read. I haven't read an engaging page-turner like this in a while. It's just the kind of fantasy novel I like and the first person perspective really kept me involved in the story. The author's descriptions of settings, people, and the old photographs made it easy to visualize his world. I'm already diving into the second book.
