Review: Wondering why you haven't read this book? - This book in two words "simply amazing". This books explains in detail the origins of some of our everyday terms and phrases. This book also explains the origins of some of our current customs and procedures. I was amazed to find out how terms like "Blackmail", "Scapegoat", "Making money hand over fist", were created, and how they were first used. Why we shouldn't put metal in the microwave, why the horse shoe is considered good luck, and why Judges wear black robes. I'm sure everyone at some point in time has wondered about these things we know and use, but never thought of where they came from and what they were originally intended to mean. This book gives information about our past, and how our ancestors and civilizations were thinking. This book also provides for those of us that are parents the ability to answer those many questions our children have. The answers are actually entertaining enough to remain in our memories and in our childrens memories as points of interest to pass along to future generations and friends. In all honesty this book was fun, and interesting at the same time. The amount of information you will receive in this book, whether you believe the information or not is far more than the cost of this book. If nothing else there should be at least one item in this book you will find interesting.
Review: Extraordinary ! - This mind-friendly book is very readable and enlightening. The author writes plainly as a friend who is speaking candidly to you and is sharing his most insightful discoveries of origins. The word "unputdownable" is often an exaggeration, but to say THIS book is unputdownable is an understatement! After reading it, I might not be wiser, but am definitely more knowledgeable. And I can't wait to dazzle my friends and family with all this magnificent trivia :) (If this review was helpful in any way, please click on the "Helpful" key below, or write a comment. Thanks).
