Title: overzealous and disappointing Review: I had high hopes for this book given the rave reviews, but was sadly disappointed by an author who tries so hard to mesh too many historical characters in such a cursory fashion. Add in the fantasy/mystical angle for the plot, and the book leaves you with the sense that absolutely nothing is authentic. The references to historical figures actually becomes tedious.In other "semi-historical" books the characters are fictional and the time period pseudo-accurate (e.g., the Alienist, Angels & Demons). Or the characters are as close to what one would imagine (e.g., The Great Train Robbery). In this case neither is true.Finally, I won't spoil the ending, but the resolution of the plot is horribly disappointing. The whole 600 pages talks about discovering a formula. Well?Overall, the writing style isn't bad, and the author has a way of keeping you reading. But, too many times I'd put the book down and say to myself, "oh no, here comes another misused historical figure". Answer:

Answer: No


Is this product review positive? Title: Too flimsy Review: I don't know if the construction of this has changed since I was little. The pieces are so cheap and flimsy, one broke while we were removing it (carefully) from the packaging. We tried tape and glue and it won't stay together well. My kids still tried to play it but soon got frustrated at how poorly it works. Looks so fun but isn't. Answer:

Answer: No

Is this product review positive? Title: Not much there Review: This book was mostly full of stories that illuminate the fairly obvious. Basically, the theme is that over-analyzing can often be worse than simply making a snap judgment. There is such a thing as too much information (especially when not interpreted correctly), and likewise, snap judgments are often wrong. How to find a balance? No answer in this book.I did find some of the stories and information entertaining, insightful, and perhaps slightly useful; but overall, I was glad it was a short book--I would not have finished it had it been any longer.
