I think that the hands of both authors can be seen here. Sometimes the writing is historically interesting, other times it's dull and plodding and repetitive. Scientific explanations are not always clear.
Biographies of scientists with the right dose of scientific explanations - might just be my favorite sort of literature. Faraday and Maxwell are the giants, and both are highly likeable characters, and so inspiring with their never-ending energy and dedication to pursuing their quest of discovering and understanding electromagnetism.
