This review is from: Nikola Tesla: Incredible Scientist and Prodigal Genius the Life of Nikola Tesla (Paperback)
Fans of any type of literature will find this book to be a grave disappointment. There lacks any main theme, aside from the man himself. It contains several articles regarding different aspects of his life and inventions, jumps haphazardly from one subject to the next, but its greatest failing is it's quality. It has the appearance of biography thrown together by an uninterested sixth-grader. There are many pictures, many of them poor quality photocopies, and there is even an article copied from an encyclopedia. It is rare to see sometihng of this poor quality, and it is always shameful.

A Man's Story, not just the Science.,
This review is from: Nikola Tesla: Incredible Scientist and Prodigal Genius the Life of Nikola Tesla (Paperback)
Unlike the other review I read on this page I find this an Incredible Book. I first read it as a teen and was inspired by the story of an inventor who never has been truly admired by the mainstream. His rivalry with Edison, his failure in love and his unusual mental talents all combine to create an extraordinary story of a man who appears more like an Extraterrestrial than human. The book isn't full of pictures... because not many exist, but if you can aspire to your imagination and delve into O'Neill's description of this man you'll find it all amazing. I've come back to this book again and again... for the story and not necessarily the physics.
