I'm half-way through the biography and I think that's a good description of it.

I think it's brutally honest and really portrays Steve as a mere mortal subject to the ups and downs of life, while presenting various perspectives. I've been really impressed with how it doesn't try to sugar coat anything, and I find myself hating Steve yet at the same time admiring him.

It really does seem to put you through his life, and in the end you do have to make a call on what to make of it, and what you can take away. I think it really added depth and nuance to the way he's portrayed and illustrated the costs of his way of running things.
