Is Shakespeare’s The Taming of the Shrew really about docile, mole-like vermin? Does Queen Elizabeth II “break wind” as does a commoner? Did Mel Brooks film the moon landings or Michelle Obama invent QAnon? The Book of Wrong is just that. Wrong. On so many levels. Just plain wrong. It is a collection of stories that are a very silly look at history and the not-so-serious people who may (or may not) have made it. Did I mention it is wrong? Really wrong. Even when it gets the facts right, it is just plain wrong.
The Book of Wrong is wrong on so many levels. Within every story true historical facts are sprinkled in with fake ones to keep the reader guessing as they go on a weird, funny ride looking at past events and figures in a way you have never considered before. It may be wrong, but it is funny.
