Very informative and easy to understand
This biography of Bill Gates had a lot of interesting facts about his entire life.It explained how he got started and how his company evolved.It also told about his family and his college years at Harvard.Many of his friends and associates are mentioned too.The book gave a little bit too much informationat times but for the most part it was well-written.The author made Gates' work easy to understand even for someone who doesn't know much about computers.I believe this book would be great for a younger crowd to read but not for someone over 14 or 15.It is just on too low of a reading level.Since the book was written in 1997, it is somewhat outdated also.Other than that I liked the book a lot.

A great book
[...] but the book was great. It had a lot of interesting info.

A great book for young readers
I enjoyed this book, but would most likely not reccomend it to anyone over the age of ten or eleven.It was interesting but was published in 1997, therefore it is not 100% up to date. ... Read more

This book is fun to read and informative
A good summer book to spark the natural intelligence of your pre-teen and early teen. The illustrations were particularily fine. ... Read more
