Reviews

[Gini · Rating 1 out of 5]

You'd pretty much have to be living under a rock not to know 99% of what's in this book. The writing style is sloppy and there is more filler than material.

[Chris Hayes · Rating 2 out of 5]

This book was alright; at best.

Unless you're in middle school, there really isn't that much in this book that you don't already know about. Going by the title, I was expecting some weird facts about how sex might have affected history or something.

Instead, I got a book full of celebrity gossip.

If that's your kind of thing, especially about the exploits of presidents, pick up this book. Otherwise, skip it.
