When I first started reading this book, it felt like it was being narrated by the voice of the guy on Dragnet and I was like "oh no". What have I got myself into. Very shortly after that, the words started to flow and I really got into the book. Every once in a while a name would come up and I would recognize it. Then my live and dead brain cells would think - I know that name - Nikola Tesla was the biggest one. I had heard that name and I just couldn't remember what he had done. Well, I learned a lot after that.
This was just such an interesting book. I know a lot of the conversations were made up, but the overall story was real. I had never heard of a feud between Edison and Westinghouse. When I told my roommate about it, he knew all about it. Apparently, I was taking the definition of high school seriously that day.
Anyways, I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book. It was both informational, educational and entertaining all at the same time. The author made it fun to read about this epic historical event and am very thankful to Random House for approving me and Net Galley for providing me a free e-galley in exchange for an honest review.
