The Pixar Touch gets off to a rather slow start. For awhile it dryly lists a long series of Pixar's technological advancements. Then, it tells, in an at times disjointed manner, stories about major figures in Pixar's history, including John Lasseter and Steve Jobs. As the company's story moves on, though, the book really picks up. By its midpoint, the book is telling an engaging story about the company that has made some of the most beloved children's films of the past two decades. After a dull, clumsy start, the books winds up weaving an interesting, detailed story about the rise of Pixar and the technology, people and politics that bought the company to where it is today.
If you're interested in learning the history of Pixar, I think that The Pixar Touch is worth reading. Be advised that it will be kind of a slog at the start, but it turns around and gets a lot better as it goes.
