Pretty good, well written, informative. I spent most of the whole book wondering which of them was bald, though. Turns out it was Wilbur.

Charles Ludwig is a very talented biography writer, and once again, I enjoyed his book very much.

Orville and Wibur Wright made an amazing contribution to the world by creating a heavier-than-air flying machine. This book tells their story from childhood to awards, but it is written rather poorly. Some of the wording is odd, and certain sentences feel out of place or unnecessary. Yet the book did tell clearly the struggles the brothers encountered while making their flying machine. This is a book suited for younger readers, but anyone can read it. I would suggest reading about the Wright brothers, but this book is not the best one out there.

This was a wonderfully written book. Full of good examples, thought provoking ideas and lots of historical information.
