Reviews

[Keaton Nash · Rating 1 out of 5]

This book is really, really boring it's not a book with many quick facts that you can use to seem smarter than your brother and really annoy him, it's more of a reference book. It did have some intriguing facts but the authorran you off with the repeitvness and monotone. Also I didn't like that the author tried to make the background look like a desk top or a counter top and the worst part of all is the format switching from vertical to horizontal and even diagonal it made the story seem like a childs book.

[Danielle Robertson Robertson · Rating 4 out of 5]

This book is really interesting but I feel like it's kind of hard to read from start to finish. It feels more like an encyclopedia where you can just pick one page and learn everything on that page then be done. I think just a little transition page here and there would help tie everything together and make it feel like when cohesive book. Then again, maybe that's just not how this was designed and I need to adjust my own expectations.
