Of course, I didn't read this all the way through, but flipping through, there were a lot interesting things. For example, eye popping, which was so disgusting.

i finally gave into reading this book (that my parents bought in 2005 with their hard earned money for some reason) because the obnoxious gold cover catches my eye every time i sit in my study to do work
the most shocking fact was finding out that ray romano got paid $1.8 million per episode of everybody loves raymond from 2004-2005? WTF? was everybody loves raymond such a big hit to justify paying ray romano such an excessive amount? its culturally irrelevant now anyway....

I enjoyed reading this book. It tells us about all the different people, talents, etc. on what records they have. The author did good on giving information on these records and giving pictures of the people or things who are the record holders of that year. I would recommend this book to someone who wants to see different records who is in to those types of things.

I would say, unfortunately, only half of it was funny, and interesting, the other was a bit deprecated for our times.
