(unfinished)
this book is more about the technicalities of tesla’s inventions than about his life. the author clearly has a hardon for engineering but not for being able to explain concepts in a clear and concise way, nor for knowing when to leave out information that those of us without an engineering degree don’t care about or can’t understand. the book reads more like a textbook than a biography. it is tedious to read, and besides that, the author has a bad habit of offering his opinions or thoughts when it’s totally unasked for

i would call this book mildly spooky, not the peemyself terrifying that i expected. this was my first king novel and i was expecting to be wholly engrossed in a creepfest, but it was more of an on-off ominous read. king’s style is a 7/10, but his horror is a 6/10 at best. i only found about 3 pages closer to the end to be close to “hair raising”. being said, that may just be my own inability to lend myself fully to the story. enjoyable read, but not what i expected, and i dont think its worthy of the hype.
