I'd read the book if I liked and respected the work of the biographer. Superior writing and research can sometimes make a biography more interesting than its subject. The fact that the subject is flawed or even unsympathetic can make the book more interesting as well.

Unfortunately, I glanced at this particular book and found admirable research without an evocative style or interesting point of view. The really gripping book about Jobs will be published when factions become irrelevant and Apple is neither the Kubrickian monolith of consumer gadgetry nor the horn-wearing impaler of all things fair, competitive and open.

Besides which, heroes sometimes make for less interesting reading. I've always preferred Richard III to Henry V. The next biographer's Jobs will likely be closer to Richard.
