پایان خوانش: 1402.12.24

به نظرم کتاب ناقصیه چون صرفا به اختراعات پرداخته و از داستان‌هایی که ادیسون با دیگر مخترعانی مثل تسلا داشته هیچ چیزی نگفته. حتا یک بار نام تسلا در این کتاب نیومده و به نظرم این اصلا جالب نیست.

با توجه به فشردگی کتاب و حجم زیاد مطالبی که در کمترین زمان و زبان ساده گنجانده شده فکر میکنم لیاقت ۵ ستاره رو داشته باشه.
اگه فقط قصد دارین با نقاط اوج زندگی ادیسون آشنا بشین و گل مطالبو دریافت کنین پیشنهاد میکنم حتما مطالعه کنین.
آدیوبوک کتاب هم با صدای آرمان سلطان زاده موجوده.
