It’s a list that, when put together, shows just how varied and interesting the book tastes of Powell’s booksellers are. I highly recommend digging into the recommendations — we would never lead you astray — but today...

I found myself quickly turning pages to hear the whole story. I liked getting the sense of the technology revolution through the life of Steve Jobs. Well written, easy to read.

I found this book very hard to get into. Reading the account from the 5 year old perspective got tedious to me. Once they hatched the plan to escape, I read right through the book. It is brilliant I think that the author told the story from the child's perspective. What do we know of a 5 year old's view of the world? And then the change as he begins to see the world for the first time. I am still struck by the comment of his grandmother when he goes up to hug a child he has just seen in the store, "you can't love someone you don't even know!" A very interesting and powerful book, but I did it find it hard to start.
