I don't do book reviews
I don't do book reviews like you keep seeing, as I find that some give too much of the plot away and I personally hate that, as it makes the book not worth reading. I much prefer to take the authors back cover write up as a review as it can either intrigue you enough to read the book of provide you enough information to make you decide that the book is not for you.My review rules are: The more stars, the more I liked it.If there are too many typos or errors the less stars I giveIf the storyline or plot is poor or contains too many errors, the characters are too weak, the ending lacking something, then the less stars I give.Simple, uncomplicated and to the point without giving anything away.Some of the books I read have been given to me by the author as a pre-release copy and this does not bias my reviews in any way.

Fun and Quirky
This was a fun book, full of weird and interesting stories. I'll admit I wasn't sure of a couple but I looked them up and they were true so I'd say it's well researched. Personally I can't sit and read a book like this cover to cover, but I find it perfect for when I'm between books or don't have a lot of time to just pick up and read a few of the short (2-5 pages each) stories. The author has an engaging writing style that makes it easy to pick up. I'd read more by O'Neill as I quite liked this one.

Interesting and Silly but worth it.
This book is filled with some really silly stories, but interesting to say the least. My 2 favorites are "He Comes From The Planet Zambodia" which fits with today's identity confusion and "A Familiar Flag", which should be read by all Americans who believe we are a racist country. This may show you a different side of the story.There are a lot of unknown facts out there in the world if you look for them, you could write a book too. Congrats to Bill O'Neill for another fun facts book.Enjoy.

This Is An Interesting Book To Read.
This is an interesting book to read. Some people reading this book may learn some new facts that they did not know before reading this book. Some of the interesting information that is mentioned in this book include the following information: William Henry Harrison was U.S. President for only 31 days. He died after only being President for one month. He was in his late 60's during his Presidential campaign. On March 4, 1841, his inaugural speech was very long. He stood in the rain for more than two hours without a coat on. He died because of pneumonia. If he had worn a coat on, he probably would've served at least one term as President. In 1828, Noah Webster of Webster's Dictionary introduced the unique U.S. American English spelling. The u was dropped from words when it accompanied an o (parlor instead of parlour). Canadians tend to follow the British spelling. However, they use some of the same words the U.S. Americans use such as trucks instead of the British word lorry. The British call cookies biscuits.
