Fake Steve Jobs' 'Options' is Funny, but Optional
From CNET
Lyons preserves some of the hilarious writing style from the blog that kept the tech media world amused during the last year, but a novel is the wrong outlet for Fake Steve. The plot exists seemingly to kill pages between the funny anecdotes, and it steers clear of the skewering of Valley executives like Google's Eric Schmidt (known as Squirrel Boy to FSJ's readers) and Sun's Jonathan Schwartz (My Little Pony) to focus more on Steve's internal angst.
Still, it's an entertaining read for the tech industry veteran and a quick one, perfect for your next "nerd bird" flight between San Jose and Austin.

What about Fester and BeastMaster?
Isn't that what he calls Bill and I? Lyon's edge is gone, how can he be biting when the lawyers, bosses and editors are all over him not to get them sued? This is simply sad, sad, sad. I feel for the guy, (not very deeply). My fakesteveballmer site has grown like crazy thanks to him, I have to admit it. But this book is a few months too late to revive the glory days.
Funny? Well, I think not.
I know Steve, he's a lot worse than the guy described in this fairy tale.
