Title: Childish and boring
Product review: Was Silverman trying to be another Paul Harvey?This seems to be written for teens or younger. The chapters answer questions such as "Was there really a chicken who lived without a head?", and "How was Kitty Litter discovered?" or "How was the zipper invented?". Each chapter ends with the author asking the question "Useless? Useful? I'll leave that for you to decide."The question should be "Interesting? Not interesting?", etc. The answer is mostly, unfortunately, not interesting. The writing is childish with more than required parenthetical remarks that seem to be asides written to a preteen. I read the chapter from which the title was derived, "Einstein's Refrigerator", and wondered why it was even in the book. There were no great secrets, nothing to stimulate you or make you say "Wow, thats' interesting".I struggled to make it half way through before I realized it was getting worse, not better.Paul Harvey's reputation has nothing to fear and, now you know the rest of the story.
