Title: Steve Jobs: Insanely Great

Author + Illustrator: Jessie Hartland

Publisher: Random House

About the book: This graphic novel is about the life of the creator of Apple technology, Steve Jobs. I thought that it was really clever putting it into graphic novel format because it makes it easier to understand and it makes a biography fun.

What I thought: I loved all the little illustrations in the book and how it was set out in different chapters for each few years of his life. I learnt a lot that I didn’t know about Steve Jobs and I found the information very easy to understand.

So I would recommend this book for ages 11+ as there are references to adult themes. Actually, kids who are interested in electronics and the history behind computers would especially like this book.

I found Steve Jobs to be an interesting and even inspirational person.

I’m a 15-year-old Aussie boy who loves to read. My favourite books include ‘Jasper Jones’, ‘To Kill A Mockingbird’ and ‘The Lord Of The Rings’.

My website contains reviews of books from junior fiction to YA novels and, now, adult reads as well. I only review books I like. My brother writes younger reviews for Book Boy as Book Boy Jr.

My book reviews have appeared in The Sunday Telegraph, and on sites such as Children’s Books Daily, Creative Kids Tales and Inside A Dog.
