Das Buch ist eine Freude. Unglaublich präzise recherchierte Geschichte […] spannend, voller bizarrer Anekdoten und erstaunlicher Einblicke in die Frühzeit dieser Branche. Allein wegen der unglaublichen Biographie von Jack Tramiel lohnt es sich […] auch der Abstieg Commodores wird liebevoll aber unerbittlich nachgezeichnet.— Spiegel.de

Die Geschichte des Computer-Pioniers Commodore — erzählt von den Insidern, die C64, Amiga und andere Hardware-Meilensteine schufen: Volkscomputer ist eine abenteuerliche Reise in die Zeit, als die Großen der Branche ihre ersten Schritte wagen und mit Commodore-Gründer Jack Tramiel und seinen Ingenieuren die Waffen kreuzen. Partner und Gegner sind der junge Bill Gates, der Ende der 70er-Jahre MS BASIC vermarktet, Apple-Visionär Steve Jobs, Ataris Nolan Bushnell und andere Macher, auf dem Weg ins 21. Jahrhundert.

Im Ringen mit IBM, Texas Instruments und Apple, Microsoft und Atari wird Commodore zum Marktführer an der Schnittstelle zwischen PC- und Videospiel-Sektor. In Volkscomputer sprechen die Erfinder von PET, VC-20 und Amiga, geniale Ingenieure und Tüftler, deren Technik nicht nur in eigenen Geräten steckt, sondern auch im Atari VCS und im Apple II, dem ersten Grafik- und Spiel-PC. Später übernimmt Nintendo die Chips von Chuck Peddle & Co.

Der Commodore-Historiker Boris Kretzinger und Winnie Forster erweiterten das Standardwerk von Brian Bagnall um Personen-, Firmen- und Spiele-Index, technische Tabellen sowie einer Foto-Galerie der Commodore-Geräte — von den späten 60er-Jahren bis zum Ende in den 90er-Jahren.

delightful read
Format: Kindle
What a delightful read. The characters are awesome, the plot was so good, I loved it. I was intrigued and it kept me wanting more. Told in multiple pov, the book sucks you in and doesn’t let go. I cannot wait to read the next book.

not bad
Format: Kindle
I loved the plot of this book. The characters just didn’t have a lot of depth. The connections and “love” just weren’t communicated very well in the writing. The author didn’t write the sweet psycho trope very well at all either. Lachlan was just a mess of a character.

A Beta Worth Rooting For
Format: Kindle
In Spare, Violet Fox flips the omegaverse on its head, giving us a Beta heroine determined to make her mark. Joining the Beta Trials to support her sick father, she's thrown into a pack that doesn't want her, especially the possessive Alphas. But here's the twist: their sweet Omega turns out to be her scent match. Cue the angst, forbidden tension, and a slow-burn romance that will make your heart ache in the best way. Violet Fox delivers an emotional, refreshing take on the genre, proving Betas aren't "spares." They're stars.

Beta, Alpha, Omega oh my!
Format: Kindle
Omegas are precious and given to Alphas & their packs... but the Betas want in too. To this end, the Beta government is rolling out its trial of assigning a Beta to each Alpha-Omega pack. But forcing a Beta into a pack where they are not wanted will not end well... Of course, no one expected the Omega to fall for the assigned Beta. Great read and cliffhanger

A familiar story, just with…..less.
Format: Kindle
So, as other reviewers make clear, this is very similar to Pack Darling and The Beta. It’s much closer aligned with The Beta, in plot and maybe more like Pack Darling with characters. That being said, I don’t hate this…..but it wasn’t great either. It’s both books mentioned but just….less. Less angst, less emotion, less feeling. The plot feels very half fleshed out, and the “bad guy” feels underwhelming. I didn’t really feel any real emotions from and of the male leads, except maybe Oliver. The others fell sorta flat for me. And Mika makes herself out to be this big bad ass straight outta training and then we never see it from here again with the one fitting room incident as the exception. SPOILER: The whole, “Oh, I’m actually probably an Omega, but I don’t wanna be but I do actually wanna be but no one can ever know my secret that I do nothing to hide “ thing fell so flat. She never commutes to believing she was secretly an omega, but also mentions her “secret” a lot. It just felt so manufactured. I’m intrigued enough to read part 2 and see how the author closes everything out, but this is not one I’ll recommend or ever come back to.
