Title: Actually, negative one star...
Product review: This book annoyed and angered me all the way up to page 120 where I had to stop reading it. It's either poorly researched or just full of outright lies. Some of it is amusing, some just snarky, but a lot of it is just false.The author makes some claims (typically about the Middle Ages) that are just completely made up. No basis in fact.For starters, as a student of that time period, I was really annoyed to find he didn't know the difference between The Dark Ages and The Medieval Period. The two are no more interchangeable than "Germany" and "France" or "The United States" and "Mexico." They are completely different things, one ending where the other begins.I reluctantly threw the book away, in the garbage, just now, because it's just wrong.Get any edition of Uncle John's Bathroom Reader over this worthless tripe.
