[michelle · Rating 4 out of 5]

Stalin ones were excellent + Freud and Picasso were fun to read + Thatcher and Marilyn Monroe could’ve been done way better + the US presidents were boring to read + wished the one on Pankhurst was longer

Unfortunately less than half of the interviews in the book are worth the effort of putting up with the rest. There are too many interviews of mildly interesting celebrities and not enough of historically important figures. The bright spots are: Karl Marx, Thomas Edison, Adolf Hitler, Mao Tsedong, JFK, Hitchcock, Stalin, and Hoffa.
