Review # 1 was written on 2019-09-27 00:00:00 Michael Kral Just when you think you have heard them all, a new urban legend pops up, In this electronic age these legends spread like wild fire and are taken oh so seriously. The author, syndicated columnists of the Chicago Sun Times, collects a number of the newer legends, so you won't find your old favorites like the hitch hiking ghost girl or the man with the hook hand here. Instead you will find out that Tupac Shakur faked his own death (similar to the "Elvis is still alive" story), or that Bill Gates will give you $1m dollars if you do a certain thing (what one must do varies depending on which myth you hear). Some of the myths are so ridiculous that it is hard to imagine that anyone believes them but there are a few which are a little more sensible and could be true....but they are not. This is an entertaining book which I thoroughly enjoyed. It is quick, light reading for the beach or other down time.

Review # 2 was written on 2017-08-17 00:00:00 Anthony Grazevich It's a good book if you want to just briefly read about the less popular urban legends, but some you might know. I liked it but it just felt a bit too brief.
