Review # 1 was written on 2013-09-01 00:00:00 Dan Otoshi I started just looking at this book after my son finished his report. I ended up reading and finishing during the Jazz game. So happy they won. Anyway I am so impressed with the dedication and determination Thomas Edison presents throughout his life. I had no idea how many of his inventions impact our lives today. He inspired me to read more books since that is how he educated himself. Great book to learn about our American history.

Review # 2 was written on 2014-11-22 00:00:00 Peter K Rabling My Inventions: The Autobiography of Nikola Tesla By: Nikola Tesla Narrated by: Stephen Paul Aulridge Jr. This is an audible book I requested and the review is voluntary. I have always been interested in Tesla and his life/inventions. He is very strange, intelligent, and someone far ahead of his time. In this book, Tesla tells all about what goes on in his head, which sometimes is very weird. He tells about his life, how his inventions came to him, and how his inventions helped save his life. He tells his encounters with famous people, his brush with death which was more than once, and future ideas. If he could only know how much his inventions have changed the world he would be so happy. He died poor and alone. We can do so much now because of him and few realize that. Good book. He also looks like what my grandfather looked like when he was young..:) The narrator sounds like what I would picture Telsa would sound like. He was wonderful!
