Rating:  Summary: This one is not all that useless Review: The reason I gave this one such a high rating was because it is a fun book but also some of the info in the book I was able to show recent professors that gave more facts about things we were studying. A prime example was what was written about Gregor Mendel. It is a good book and enjoyable and you will learn alot!
Rating:  Summary: Completely crazy book. Hours of fun. Review: This book has some of the most bizarre things that I've ever read. Including the story of some medieval ruler who had the eyes of every captured enemy soldier destroyed with hot pokers. One out of 100 soldiers were spared one eye, in order to lead the blind back home.Some of this ... I don't think is true, but all the same this is a very fun book. Great bathroom material.
Rating:  Summary: An entertaining read that some won't be able to put down! Review: This book is a good read and you will sometimes be amazed by some of the facts that are contained within it.
