I thought the author’s build up to the climax of her plot was very smooth but to me the ending seemed a little too contrived. The story is original and very well written. However, I cringed at her misuse of the verb LAY — ouch!

This book held me in thrall from beginning to end. I could identify easily with Lisa Brennan-Jobs as she describes incidences, big and small, of her growing up between, but not with, her two parents. From the often cruel coldness of her father to the mental instability of her mother, the years of her youth alternately living in poverty and luxury, she somehow never loses her love of both and somehow emerges intact, successful and at peace.

I recommend this book to everyone I think would appreciate it. Despite perhaps an over abundance of metaphors, I thought it beautifully written.

Having lived in the Palo Alto area for forty plus years, revisiting those familiar places in her memoir added even more to the pleasure in my reading of it.
