I, of course, have heard of Elon Musk before. But my knowledge was limited. I did hear about his cars many times from the guys in my family, though. lol So I was very interested in reading his biography. Check out my Elon Musk Book Review below.
Famed biographer Walter Isaacson — who’s studied and written about Steve Jobs, Albert Einstein, Ben Franklin, and Leonardo da Vinci – spent 2 years shadowing Elon Musk and it clearly shows in this fascinating book. You really get to know Musk as an inventor and as a person, and you feel like a fly on the wall watching things like Tesla development and SpaceX launches. You also learn about Musk’s tough childhood in South Africa and how that shaped him.
Elon Musk Book Review
I have not read any other biographies by Walter Isaacson. But I like his writing style in Elon Musk. He followed Elon around for 2 years. Everywhere. So you really get a glimpse of what is life is/was like.
This is a high quality book. Unlike the paper cover on other hardcover books, this one is made of a thicker, glossier paper, so it’s sturdier. The front and rear flyleaves have full coverage photos.
I love that each chapter not only has a name, but is labeled with the place and the years that it covers. It makes it super easy to follow the story line. There are a lot of pictures included. Not only of Elon, but of his family, friends, and colleagues.
Biographies are my favorite genre of books. I found Elon Musk to be an in depth biography. Not just skimming the highlights of his life. I have enjoyed reading this book.
There is a comprehensive notes section, as well as an index included. Something that I appreciate in a biography.
No matter if you have only recently heard of Elon Musk, or have been following his career for years, you will love this book. I found it fascinating!
