Comprehensive and Carefully Captivating.
Any additional comments?
I have been a big fan of Thomas Edison all my life. I was amazed by the number of things that I learned in this book that I hadn't read before. The writer is very good at bestowing a widespread picture of the person he is writing a biography for. It's brief, information packed, and really interesting.

This book is quite interesting.
Any additional comments?
It was indeed easy to listen while providing information one wouldn't supposed to read. I esteemed the author's ability to keep my interest when discussing a single man's life.

I found this fascinating.
Any additional comments?
It's the material that splits ordinary beings from deep thinkers, from Geniuses. I principally like that this product. The price bearing in mind the quantity and quality for this product is the key selling point and is really un-matchable with anything else out there.
