This should be a good read for someone who is into inventing things. Edison had a very poor business sense, though. The read was interesting, and somewhat encouraging for everyone.

Edison was a brilliant inventor matched only by his work ethic. He was also a poor businessman who unfortunately held some racist beliefs. Whether a fan of the man or not this book offers an in-depth look into the life and habits of the man whose inventions shaped the 21st century.

Very interesting and informative
