I was given this book in exchange for an honest review.

This book is comprised of two short stories. The first being about the "Big Race." It has fun facts throughout, i.e. "What do French fries and the Declaration have in common?" I had a hard time at times following because it would bounce from present time to past and back. But liked the authors ability to make characters relatable.

The second story was considerably shorter than the other story. It was about a mysterious visitor. I loved the ending and thought it was fitting.

I would definitely recommend this book to others.

I received this book for free in exchange for providing an honest review.

The author has a wonderfully creative mind and uses unique story lines. I found the book to be very hard to read. Writing in the first person the author repeats catch phrases that tend to become annoying. I'm sorry but I found this a very hard book to like.

I received this book for free in exchange for providing an honest review. So be it.

Had I wanted to read about Shakespeare, musical history, theology, or psychology I would have elected to read books on those subjects. Go figure!

The sooty of Ophelia, an unmarried school teacher who is abandoned by her boyfriend gets lost in the author's history lessons. I'm sorry to say that I did not enjoy this book. Amen.

I received this book for free in exchange for writing an honest review. I'm sorry I made that agreement because I hate to be negative.

A narrator takes the reader through the story of a young man who meets a mysterious stranger, named Norman at a birthday party. The stranger has the ability to change into anything he wanted to become and took the narrator on various adventures. The kid and the adult narrator asks many questions and Norman seems to delight in frustrating him by not answering him. The book was too long and reading it became tedious.… (altro)
