The Last Days of Wonder
The Last Days of Wonder | Graham Moore
From the winner of the Oscar for the Best Screenplay for The Imitation Game in 2015 comes a superb historical legal thriller based on the famous 'War of the Currents' fought between Thomas Edison and George Westinghouse. In New York, in the late 1880s, the miracle of electric light is still in its infancy and untold riches and glory await the man who can power the nation with this new technology. Thomas Edison has won the race to the patent office for his electric light bulb and is now suing his one remaining rival, George Westinghouse, for infringement for the unheard-of sum of a billion dollars. To defend himself, Westinghouse makes a surprising choice in his attorney: he hires untested 26-year-old Paul Cravath who is fresh out of law school. The task facing Cravath is truly daunting - Edison quickly shows himself to be an implacable and crafty opponent who will lie, cheat and betray in order to win. And the stakes are immense: the winner of the case will illuminate America. 'If Paul could not break the patent claim, Thomas Edison would have a monopoly on light itself...'

I found this fictional story (filled with LOTS of nonfiction facts) fascinating and entertaining. As I was not aware of the Edison/Westinghouse/Tesla backstory, it was quite an eye-opener. The fictional parts of the novel were seamlessly and expertly woven in and made what otherwise might have been a dry, Wikipedia-type book, a page-turner. If you like underdog-to-hero types of stories, this might be right up your alley. Well worth the read. 4/5⭐️

Meshell1313 @CatLass007 Hi! It stands for Litsy Markup Postal Book Club. @suvata hosts it if you want to join the next round! You join a group of 4 where everyone picks a book in a similar genre to read. You read your pick and mark it up- notes in margins, thoughts as you go and then mail it to the next person in group. At the end you‘ve all read the same 4 books and it‘s fun to share thoughts as you read in the book. Hope that helps! 9mo

I‘m already doing #CampLitsy23 and I really don‘t want to join anymore readalongs or book clubs until summer is over I don‘t think. I don‘t want to get overcommitted or overwhelmed.

I like that about it as I don‘t feel pressured to finish it right away. I‘ve participated several times now, and I like that you get to be involved in whichever genre appeals to you. Hope that helps. 😊 9mo

This book was very interesting! A bit long at some points and a bit gruesome at times. I never would have picked this up on my own, if it wasn‘t a #LMPBC read.

This was a really good book about feud between Westinghouse and Edison, with Tesla over the electric light bulb. It gets dirty at times, but somehow Paul Westinghouse's lawyer keeps his sanity, mostly.

5 ? See what I did there? No? You should read this book to find out. The backdrop of the book is the "current" war between Westinghouse and Edison along with who invented the light bulb. A very "enlightening" historical fiction novel about the men who brought about our electrical system as we know it and the young lawyer in the middle of it. This book.was an attention grabbing, page turner of a read. Fantastic!!! @TheAromaofBooks #bookspin

Graham Moore has a way of writing stories that make them feel so alive that you start to believe in the existence of his characters before you actually crack open a history book and learn that they really did exist. I'm talking of the main character here, Mr. Paul Cravath, who I knew nothing about before reading this.

Like Paul, I started this book without knowing what I was getting into. Once I got to the middle, there was no putting this book

asterese down. I had to see it to the end, and it was brilliant, all of it. Electrifying, I would even say.

⭐: 5

The battle of patents between Edison & Westinghouse was spearheaded by a young lawyer named Cravat. This historical novel turns the story into a bit of a thriller while remaining solidly grounded in fact. The other major players are the enigmatic Tesla and Paul's love interest. All of the main characters existed in real life & I loved reading the afterword from the author about where fact met fiction.

Although I liked this book, I did not love it. There was something missing from what I would consider a great HF novel. Maybe because it was wrapped up in the legal issues, or maybe because the characters as described by the author just didn‘t grab me, but there was something off in my estimation. It was interesting, just not engrossing.

Historical fiction isn‘t usually my go to genre, however I‘ve always been fascinated by the inventions of the 1800‘s and more specifically Nikola Tesla himself. This story was even more fascinating than I imagined and I really loved the quotes at the beginning of each chapter as well!!

Historical fiction isn't my usual genre of choice, but I did enjoy this quite a lot. It details the war between Thomas Edison and George Westinghouse over the light bulb, seen through the eyes of Westinghouse's lawyer. Not much court room drama, thankfully, but some romance, some mystery and intrigue as the opposing sides tried to one up each other. 5 💥💥💥💥💥

Set in the 1880s, The Last Days of Night tells the story of the war of the currents from the vantage point of Paul Cravath, the young attorney representing Westinghouse in the lawsuit against Edison over who invented the light bulb.
It's a fascinating book, with intriguing characters, interesting events, science, and very intelligent prose. I loved it.

After inhaling The Holdout, I immediately grabbed Graham Moore's other books. This one is completely different but fascinating. It's historical fiction meets legal thriller, about the drama behind the origin of electricity and the many players involved. Because it's an undisputed fact that Thomas Edison invented the lightbulb... right? As recognizable as his name is, this accounting, though fiction, highlighted how little I actually knew 💡

This was such an amazing book. There are few scientists I love more than Nikola Tesla, so I had to read this. There's a line that says "visionaries like Tesla, craftsman like Westinghouse, and salesman like Edison" and frankly, that's the best description I've ever heard of them. The movie better not suck. #currentwar #edison #tesla #westinghouse #cravath

As far as #historicalfiction goes, this was right up there with my favorite, The Devil in the White City (which is saying a lot)! Westinghouse, Edison, Tesla, and our young protagonist, Cravath, fill out the pages of this novel and bring the battle of the light bulb and electric current to life. If you like historical fiction, particularly those with the flare of a thriller, I highly recomend The Last Days of Night! #bestseller #grahammoore

Field trip,exam planning.Now on my porch, sunny with a breeze.Contemplating this book. I could not put down until I finished it in wee hours of the morning.

Fascinating! You can tell Moore is a screenwriter. The book reads like a film. Excellent pacing and plenty of dramatic scenes. I was unaware of how contentious the battle between AC and DC was, and I really appreciated Moore's breakdown at the very end of what was fact and what was fabrication.

I want to go back in time and give Nikola Tesla a hug, even though I'm pretty sure he would not have appreciated it.
