Rating: Summary: Great fun! Review: What a great book!! All reviews have agreed that this book is quite difficult to put down. I must echo this and say that it is funny, fun and fascinating!! I highly recommend this book to anyone interested in the origins of our popular culture and also for people who want to know more about history in more graphic detail than available in your average history book!! Read and enjoy!!

Rating: Summary: Surprisingly Informative and Enjoyable Review: My sister-in-law gave me this book for Christmas because she didn't really know what to get me. I read a lot, and I am very curious about the truth, so she took a chance. I approached this book with great hesitancy, expecting it to be all fluff. I was very wrong. I have learned quite a bit, have been entertained with each page and topic, and will re-read the book soon, since there is so much information on so many topics. Clever, sharp-witted and well-researched. A special bonus because you can read it in little bits, as there are numerous breaks by topic and within topics. I have small children, so I have to read around my play time. Anyway, I recommend it very highly. It is pretty risque, so no prudes or delicate senisibilities need bother.
