The Inventor and the Tycoon: A Gilded Age Murder and the Birth of Moving Pictures by Edward Ball
2.0
DNFed at 20%.
It’s not that this is not interesting material. It certainly is. However Ball’s writing is so convoluted that it’s difficult to follow the timeline of the lives of either of these men, let alone their relationship to each other. The constant switching back and forth between time periods and between the subjects is just too much and as a result Ball fails to deliver the story promised by the synopsis.
