A review by bookcraft
The Inventor and the Tycoon: A Gilded Age Murder and the Birth of Moving Pictures by Edward Ball

1.0

DNF.

Somehow the author manages to make what should be interesting history boring. The blurb says that Muybridge killed "coolly and meticulously" and calls it an "obsessive murder plot," but as Ball describes it, it's neither cool and meticulous, nor really a plot.
SpoilerBasically, Muybridge finds out his wife was unfaithful, and immediately takes a train to where the lover is and shoots him.
