While I enjoy the Bathroom Reader series, this particular edition is not among my favorites. It lacks the variety of information and humor contained in the other volumes from Uncle John. This book focuses exclusively on trivia with historical content. I can only give it 3 stars because it is not as entertaining as a typical Bathroom Reader. I buy Bathroom Readers because they contain a collection of short entertaining factoids that peak my interest or make me laugh. This book reads more like a reference book. Unfortunately, it cannot be used as a reference because it lacks an index and bibliography.

Fascinating look into many historical topics, all done with ease and humor. You'll learn a lot, and you're bound to have fun doing it! The articles vary in length and subject, so you can pick and choose what you want. Another wonderful volume in a spectacular series!
