Title: The Cover says it all...
Review: The Introduction (Which is reproduced on the dust jacket) is the most amusing portion of this rather dull book. It seems that the author once read "1066 and All That" and believed that he could recreate a similar work of nonsensical ramblings out of whole cloth. While I admire the effort, Hodgman falls very, very short of the goal.What makes works such as "1066" so amusing is not that they are a collection of nonsense, but that they reflect our sometimes twisted view of the world. "1066" is brilliant because it captures that sense of thinking that you know it all, when you in fact do not. Hodgman's work boils down to a man with too much time on his hands who has convinced himself that he is really quite clever.
Is the review positive or negative?
