Review # 1 was written on 2018-12-20 00:00:00 Tommy Groves This was a really interesting read. It took me over a month to read not because it was bad but because I never wanted to read more than 1-2 articles a day. I thoroughly enjoyed all the different topics and writers, and the wide range of articles chosen. As with any anthology, some were hit and miss. The satire was largely a miss for me just because I don't particularly enjoy it, but Robert Fisk and Mike Sager both wrote incredibly interesting articles that were critical of Israel's role in the conflict in the Middle East, a topic which I now want to read more of. I did wish there was more commentary on the articles. Because there was such a wide range chosen, both of topics and time frame (from 1942-2003), I lacked context for a lot of them. I had to do a fair amount of outside research just to get a basic understanding of the topic, and I found myself thinking just a little more of an explanation in the commentary would have been incredibly helpful. But overall, if this sounds like a book that will interest you, it probably will.

Review # 2 was written on 2008-01-07 00:00:00 Christopher Paisley Most of the stories in this collection were worth reading, and some were fantastic. The standouts were "Unfortunate Con," "The Stranger-than-Truth Story of The Body Shop," "Mein Doll," and "Chills and Spills for Children of All Ages."
