[Sofia Balderson · Rating 4 out of 5]

Read it in one sitting, couldn’t get into it at first as not all stories were that interesting but then read most of them. I knew some of it already but a lot was new, and some things were surprising to me, like button up shirts. Gained quite a lot of appreciation for all the inventors, who, in many cases, had to self sponsor their products and wait many years until it gained popularity!
