M: Hey, I just finished reading a great book. It’s about Steve Jobs!

W: Really? But there are so many books about him now. What makes the one you read so special?

M: Well, the one I read is by Walter Isaacson — it’s different from the others because Steve Jobs himself asked Isaacson to write it.

W: Hmm, were they friends or something?

M: Well, they knew each other well because Isaacson used to work for Time Magazine in the 1980s and he wrote about Apple products — but it was mostly a business relationship, I think.

W: So, what’s the book about?

M: Oh, his entire life. There’s a lot of personal information about Steve Jobs because so many people, including his wife, kids, and closest co-workers, agreed to be interviewed only for this particular book.

W: It sounds interesting. Did you learn anything that really surprised you?

M: I always knew he was a tough person, but I was amazed at how sensitive he was. He actually cries a lot in the book!

W: Really? Wow, I should definitely take a look!
