(More customer reviews)My three son's just discovered Tom Swift at Christmas...
What a hit they were! it was interesting to watch them enjoy this book, one is 14, one is 17 and one is 21. Each of them is very bright, and very interested in new technology and gadgets. I think it was the gadgets that got them interested in Tom Swift. As much as I can tell, each story is about some invention that the young man made, and often there is a very serious attempt to explain how and why it works.
Men and their cars!
Of course there is adventure, and travel to areas of the world not yet explored in the early 1900's or so, it's a world of Thomas Edison, where one person can actually effect the course of the world...I can understand men missing that part of life in today's world.
Mom's, offer your son's some of these Tom Swift books, your may see a very good change in him!
Enjoy!

Industrial Espionage is foiled by Tom!This thrilling tale of daring and heroics by Tom sees him run down, drugged, and kidnapped! Our young hero repairs a wrecked car, manages a bold escape and after some serious detective work outwits a gang of criminals.This criminal element makes their escape but not before promising revenge!Tom Swift, the inspirational boyhood hero of Steve Wozniak and Isaac Asimov, is an all-American young inventor in his teens. These fantastic and future-predicting stories are VERY alive today.Swift was modeled after the entrepreneurial and inventive geniuses Henry Ford and Thomas Edison, who both changed our world more than any other two people.Like Arthur C. Clarke, Swift invented or predicted many modern discoveries including the Taser, camcorder, video-phone, electric car, and several others.
