I am a self-proclaimed Mac Geek. So, I will attempt to restrain myself from going overboard with saying that Macs are the best computers you can get, and that everyone should go out and get their hands on one. (They are, and everyone should.)

iWoz is the memoir of Steve Wozniak, one of the guys who founded Apple. You know, the guy who made the Apple I and the Apple II. The book covers everything from when he was a young kid in Silicon Valley to when he and Steve Jobs were phone phreaks, working at HP to the creation of Apple, right up until present day. Incidentally, this book also mentions the creation of one of the greatest games ever – Breakout. OH YES.

So yeah, this was an interesting book in the respect that it talked about Apple, and how Apple got it’s beginnings and all that stuff. The writing wasn’t fabulous, and parts weren’t as exciting as others, but overall I quite enjoyed it.

Plus, it talks about Apple. And Macs are great.
