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!

I have a very mechanical gift. I used to say "I can fix anything with moving parts". My father used to tell the story of when I was 6 years old and took the toaster apart, completely. And then I put it back together perfectly.Within a year or so, after teaching myself computer programming in the late 1960s, I began to see all the the "moving parts" of the programs and data. Still do. 😊

From what I have read, Edison may have stolen some of his ideas and burned his lab down. But Edison was the better business man.
Edison stole from everyone. I was reading what he did to Alexander Graham Bell last night. Pfft. That isn’t business ! It’s thievery and underhanded poop throwing of the lowest caliber !
Cheers to Tesla, whom is currently a very interesting and popular Mii that looks just like his namesake on my Nintendo 3DS and on the game Tomadachi Life. Great review.
Edison fried an Elephant for fun! An elephant who should have been free in the first place ! Business man, business man. Oh, yes. Very showy. So add murderer to that. Poor Topsy. K. Sorry. I’m okay now.
So sorry.

I heard Edison paid kids to capture dogs for him to fry.
