librarianryan 's review for:

Nikola Tesla by Maria Isabel Sánchez Vegara
3.0
informative medium-paced

 
The thing with the Little People Big World books is that they are too happy.  They make every person sound like they lived happily ever after.  And that is just not so with Tesla.  It briefly mentioned that he and Thomas Edison didn’t get along, but nothing about Edison stealing his work, or that Tesla died early and pretty poor. He was remembered as a quack  and a crazy, instead of the brilliant mind he was.  I wish this book had touched on this just a little.  Not all people have a happily ever after and this series needs to stop trying to make it seem like they do.
