Stars: 1
Review by: MandyApgar
ANNE BOLEYN DID NOT HAVE A SIXTH FINGER ON ONE HAND!!!!! EDISON DID NOT INVENT THE LIGHTBULB!!!! AIEEEEEEEE!!!!!!
I would like to smack the fact checker for this upside the head
with an encyclopedia. The problem with so many trivia books is is that
they are full of crap, and this one is certainly in the majority. I
found roughly 30 mistakes (I lost count) by the end,
ranging from the insanely inept (Edison - there were at least 8 bulbs on
public display at the time of his birth) to useless urban legends (Walt
Disney was in a different state than Mickey Rooney's mother when he was
single so the two never dated) with most
of the items falling in the latter category. The book comes across as
just something a bunch of people in a pub threw together in a few
minutes off of Wikipedia.
