Mehso-so

Considered making this a "pick" due to the fact that Tesla is such an interesting subject even a middling biography is worth reading, but in the end I just can't get too excited about this book. Cheney clearly admires Tesla (a little too much, some might argue), yet portions of the book are an absolute drag to get through, almost like reading a bullet-pointed list of accomplishments from his Wikipedia page. Anyone know a better Tesla bio?
