A review by christianholub
The Last Days of Night by Graham Moore

4.0

Historical fiction is not typically my genre, but I found this book a lot of fun. There are vibrant characters, and well-known historical figures like Edison and Tesla are rendered vividly. There's also a good bit of social commentary on Gilded Age New York (more resonant than ever in this, our Modern Gilded Age) and the prose elevates it above genre. Moore is a damn fine writer, as you may have already known from watching The Imitation Game or his eloquent acceptance speech for Best Adapted Screenplay for that same film.
