Magnificent book

I read the reviews before I purchased this audio book. One criticism was that it is read to fast. So, I slowed it down to .75 speed on Audible app. That fixed the ‘to fast’.

The forward to this book is written by the narrator, Ryan Jarvis in 1955, the book was written in 1900.

One thing that may confuse people is that Tesla talks about mass and velocity of the entire human race. We are not accustomed to mass and velocity talked about from any other point of view than an individual object.

I will have to listen many more times to grasp the meaning conveyed.

Seems best that a hard copy be at hand so I could see the diagrams described.

narration is absolutely horrible

The narrator reads this content as if he were a middle schooler reading a book report on a topic that he does not understand. Tesla's assertions are interesting and compelling on their own, but listening to the narrator's cadence and underwhelming delivery was very distracting. Wish I could get my credit back and just buy the hard cover book for myself.

brilliant content ruined by bad narration

unfortunately this audible performance is much like listening to a 7th grade student read shakespear... he's trying to speed thru it rather than convey understanding. I will find the hardcopy to finish this one.

this narrator is meh

there are other better recordings IMO; adriel brandt in "the nikola Tesla collection" for instance.

I Will Listen Again.....Maybe

Decent effort, but falls short on poor narration and monotone delivery. Each section or group of paragraphs should have had analogies or some hook to involve the listener. There were many points of interest, but it would take another careful listen to glean the information and then I would have to research on my own.
