Might be a little off-topic, but I dislike Walter Isaacson's style. His biography of Steve Jobs was in my opinion underwhelming. I remember some time ago I read Jeff Atwood's blog about this exact same thing. He mentioned how he would've loved to read something more akin to David Kushner's "Masters of Doom" about Jobs. And I wholeheartedly agree with him having read both. Can someone who has read "Leonardo da Vinci" share some info on whether it's the same style like in his Jobs biography?

He goes in depth on why he recommends them on the gatesnotes website.
