Title: New title: "Edison: The Murderer"
Product review: While there are a few facts and dates thrown into the story, it is so filled with conjecture and contrivance that the book is worthless. The chapters on Edison are particularly useless. Edison is painted as directly murdering three people (a childhood friend, a drug addict and his first wife) and indirectly causing the death of many more. The portrayal of Edison as a sadistic torturer is so at odds with what is known about him, that it makes me wonder what references the author was using. There are none listed. It is as if the author has a personal vendetta against Edison. The story itself is told in a disjointed style as noted by a previous reviewer. It is difficult to read because of the misspellings and the number of people who just pop into the story without introduction. How any publishing company could print this book and sell it as a work of non-fiction gives the whole publishing industry a black eye.
