[Gregg Neavin · Rating 5 out of 5]

Read this book, when first published, having received it as a gift. I've referred to it often over the years. One of my favorite debunked "facts" had to do with the iron content in spinach. This is a fun read which I would highly recommend.

[Lupine Smile · Rating 3 out of 5]

Interesting, but author has some strange phrasing and statements at times.

[Matty · Rating 5 out of 5]

For example, on page 2, the book asserts that "there are only forty-six states in the United States. Virginia, Pennsylvania, Kentucky, and Massachusetts are commonwealths."

I love when people correct "common knowledge", so you can imagine how much I love this book :)
