Review # 1 was written on 2008-04-07 00:00:00 Nathan Hanks What a bizarre little book. Tesla has always seemed to me someone who existed in a space between our world and another unfathomable place, brought here by a glitch in dimensions or something. This loose memoir confirms my suspicions :). And not only because of passages like this: "I had a brother who was gifted to an extraordinary degree; one of those rare phenomena of mentality which biological investigation has failed to explain. His premature death left my earth parents disconsolate." No, it's also how differently he thought about inventing and engineering than everyone else. It's not particularly well-written in the standard sense (and my copy, at least, was ATROCIOUSLY edited). But that's not really what it's about anyway. It's about getting the chance to spend time with a quirky genius.

Review # 2 was written on 2018-06-06 00:00:00 George Adele 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!
