I have yet to read the book, but I hope to crack it open this weekend. So take what I say with a grain of salt.
To me it seems like the reason this book may be hard to read for some people is due to the public persona of Jobs over the past decade. He was an icon for all things Apple. How dare this non-technical person speak of Jobs in this light!? Surely he feels this way because he "doesn't get it" and "doesn't get his vision". Seem familiar?
Maybe that's the wrong feeling a person should have. Maybe he's just a brilliant man with flaws like everyone else. Maybe the real Jobs isn't what you pictured in your mind and this book is ruining your perception of Jobs.
Edit: not sure when I hit reply on this comment, but this is a general observation to everyone.
