Review # 1 was written on 2016-09-14 00:00:00 James Seelbach A really enjoyable book, I was never bored because the stories all vary so much and are mostly short. As always, I read aloud the interesting parts to my boyfriend who enjoyed this book almost as much as I did. I read it in about two settings but it might be a better read for some over the course of a week or so. I'm always fascinated by weird history and this book had plenty of that! Five stars!

Review # 2 was written on 2012-08-01 00:00:00 Dennis Schoenauer This book has been my go-to 'dipper' for a few months now. I've been reading it extremely slowly but that did absolutely nothing to distract me from the repetition of these so called history facts. Being a history student I had to use some serious imagination to even consider some of them being true and the fact nothing was cited properly irked me towards the end. I know it's not meant to be a proper history text or 'boring' but I would of liked a bit more information on these so called facts. Some of them were also gruesome and horrible. This book makes a joke out of some things that should be seriously left alone and respected. For that reason, and the fact it was just plain boring at times, I couldn't give this any more than 2 stars, no matter how long it kept me somewhat entertained.
