My Take on the Book
This was an entertaining and interesting book to read. It is a book full of facts . Some are real and some are fake. The topics vary from people, animals, food, weather, odd jobs, and more.
The author describes on one page a fact in detail. Tom Nick Cocotis illustrates the fact. Then the reader decides if this description is of something factual or fake. When you turn the page you see the answer with a full explanation.
Here is one example: Robert Samuel has a job. You can hire him to stand in line for you. He requests payment of $25 for the first hour and $10 for each half hour after that. Real or Fake? It is real! There is a photograph of the man on the second page describing why someone might hire him.
The entries are short. Many are funny and others may shock you because you were not familiar with them. Each page has a fib-o-meter to rate the truth or fake entry.
I think you will enjoy this book.
