Summary: An Undergorund Education: The Truth be Told!
Review: I would like to thank Richard Zacks for writing this juicy book! Truth need be told about many things, and light need be shed on others, like the real adventures (or lack thereof) of Bonnie and Clyde, the true story of Mata Hari, and others. This book is fresh and different, and I applaud the author for letting the cat out of the bag on so many things. Mr. Zacks, this is my bible!

Rating:
Summary: It was extremely enlightening.
Review: I belive that this is the most honest book worldwide. It displays information that is covered up and lied about at schools nationwide. It is enlightening.

Rating:
Summary: Not worth the time or money
Review: This book came highly reccommended and I couldn't wait to get started! I should have gotten a hint of it's shallowness by reading the cover, back and front. If you've got loads of time and have already read all of the millions of great books available then go ahead and read this book, but if you haven't don't waste your time.

Summary: This book is so good my college professor borrowed it!
Review: I enjoyed this book so much that I read it in only a few days. After discussing some of the material with my professor, he borrowed the book and I have not seen it since. He agrees that it is highly enlightening!

Summary: Couln't put it down.Even when I wanted to.
Review: This book contains answers to questions no normal person would ask, and never claiming to be normal, I found it fascinating. Amazing, the bizarre facts I can now drop into a conversation. A must have for the sickly curious.

Rating:
Summary: Quite a bit of fun
Review: An entertaining, if somewhat offbeat read...this is one of those books that makes you lose some of your faith in humanity's humanity, but it also very, very funny...if you like the weird, the bizarre and the sexily strange, you'll like this book.

Summary: not the usual trivia collection...
Review: A few things I'd already known, and a *surprising* lot I hadn't, which is quite an accomplishment! Too many books of this sort seem to be retreads of the same set of oddities, but this volume has gone far afield to gather fresh and unusual specimens, And to top it all off, there's a photograph of a man... errrm, how to put this delicately... a gentleman, who... ummm... well, he... he "has a double complement of Gentlemanly Virtues". (blush) While I had heard of the case (it's mentioned in the "book of lists" I think), to actually *see* the... ah, well, a lot of guys probably wouldn't call it a *deformity*... (blushing again) Anyway, this one's a definite keeper.

Summary: The ultimate resource for intellectual curmudgeons
Review: Zacks covers an incredible number of topics from the spiritual to the lurid. Addictive reading that leaves you challenging "common knowledge." A great resource for writers with a taste for the odd.

Summary: Addicting brain candy
Review: This is a hard book to put down. It's filled with fascinating little tidbits about the seamier side of human existence and all its accompanying malodorous history. There aren't many books that I prop in my lap while driving to catch paragraphs while waiting in traffic, but this was one of them. It's filled with fascinating topics and exposes, all the stuff you really want to hear about but undoubtedly were never taught. I'm giving it four stars for those avid readers who will probably not learn a plethora of completely new things (Zaks has done a great job of expanding on many facts you may have read about before elsewhere). But there will be plenty of stuff you haven't as well. Enough to make it very hard to tear this book from your side until you've read the last page.

Summary: REAL history that shocks your socks off!
Review: Bizarre, lewd, and intellectually shocking stuff. Twisted, perverse, stinky and kinky. This is an original. A MUST-HAVE! An "I have to hide it from the kids, but doesn't it really belong on the coffee table book?" WHERE did this author come from anyway? I can't wait for his next one.
