The most captivating and endearing of Ad Hudler's novels, ATBMT weaves together tragedy, comedy, and biography (of Thomas Edison and his wife, Mina) with a thread of identity theft into a contemporary tale of loss and redemption.

While it didn't possess the humor of Ad Hudler's other books, the story and characters were engrossing. The secondary characters are multi-layered and realistic. Fort Myers, FL and the Edison House provide a deep sense of history and setting that almost act as additional characters; these characters are what surely persuades the main characters to act upon their eccentricities.

Quirky, charming story with some interesting insight into what makes people who they are. Was a little disappointed in the ending. It seems abrupt and out of character. But overall, an enjoyable little read.

A lovely, albeit partially sad story centering around Fort Meyers, FL and the Thomas Edison estate. Geena and Ellis become friends through some strange circumstances and learn more about life and themselves than they thought they would. As always Ad Hudler packs a message and this one is acceptance and patience. This book will make you laugh and think! Two things which are good to do!
