A must-read for an exciting and entertaining insight into the times when music industry pioneers were hard at work this book is the one.
 During Dickie Goodman's day the record industry was heavily percolating. To share his life experience with him through this book in this most amazing industry will keep you reading from beginning to end wanting it to never end.
 Compliments to his son Jon for a job well done And for taking the time to share this experience
 with us.

This book was very entertaining with information and insightfullness that made me see these legendary figures in a whole new light.  Robert Morgan is one of the most entertaining writers I have ever met or read.

I have read this book twice, once in college as an economics major, shortly after it was released, and again a few weeks ago.  I thoroughly enjoyed both times.  Although Smith rambles at times, it is an entertaining and informative look at macroeconomics in the 70's and teaches things that you won't find in Economics 101 textbooks.  If you like reading about these matters, you'll find this book enlightening and fun.  If you don't, there may be enough anecdotes, and such, to keep your interest through the book, but it won't be enjoyable for you.  (There's a reason they call economics "the dismal science.")

One of the first interviews I came across whilst flipping through the book was Marisa Millers (if you don't know her she is one of the Victoria's Secret angels/models, and a lifelong surfer). One of my first thoughts before reading the interview was that it was going to be weird, indulgent (on her end), and boring. To my surprise, it was totally interesting and entertaining, and as I began to flip further through the book, I discovered the consistency of Cyrus's questions and hilarity to be enthralling. It is a rare feast, and it suitable for all rooms of the house (bathrooms and bedrooms alike). SO many celebs and pros, it never gets boring. Top read. Highly Recommend.

Hamlett has written an informative guide that is both entertaining and educational. Filled with on-target and no-nonsense advice, the insight "Could It Be A Movie" will give you is worth its weight in gold. Highly recommended!

Very entertaining as well as informative and educational.  No better way to learn math history.  Professor Marcus Du Sautoy is a very energetic engaging host.

I loved this book because it's entertaining, most informative and lots of fun. For example, Did you know Ellis Island opened in 1808 when the government bought the property from Samuel Ellis, a butcher? It was once a military base and after the War of 1812, it was used for weapons storage. In 1891, the building was renamed Ellis Island, but five years later, the building burned down. When the building was rebuilt, it became an immigration center. People from other countries were required to answer 22 important questions. They also needed to have a physical exam by Dr. Ramus, who determined whether each person had a communicable disease. What happened if the person was sick? Some were hospitalized and others, forced to return to their home country. Even healthy new arrivals needed someone to sponsor them so they wouldn't be a burden on our government.
Little Miss History tells readers that Ellis Island was used to house suspected spies during World War 11. Much later, Ellis Island became a museum.
Children will love the big illustrations while Little Miss History shares lots of great, important details about Ellis Island and the many functions it had. It's another wonderful book by Barbara Mojica. Your children will love taking the tour of Ellis Island with Little Miss History. I highly recommend this book. It's educational, informative and fun.

Interesting and entertaining read!! A lot of self-help/how-to books I have stumbled upon over the years, although very informative and useful, have been just that....and not much of a fun read. I love that as I continue to flip through each chapter, the vernacular and tone of the author's voice keeps me entertained, while at the same time receiving information I will use forever! So glad I read this before baby #2 so I can automate my routines now and have good habits (hopefully) when D-day is here. Read read read read read this book! You won't regret it!

Shorto's history of New Netherland was as entertaining as it was informative.  I highly recommend this book to anyone who wants to learn more about our Dutch heritage.

Dan Harris shares his career and personal life in a very entertaining and informative way. His coping with matters and training are insightful and his guides at the end are so helpful. Our One Book One Town Committee has selected this book for 2016 and are in the process of planning programs for the attendees. Thank you Dan!

I found this book to be both informative and entertaining.  I thought I already knew a lot about cats (having them for about 15 years), but even I learned quite a few little tidbits I did not know.  And Pam informs you of all this information with a sense of humor.  Great little read for anyone interested in cats.

Both informative and entertaining, this is a must read for anyone dealing with color. Especially if you need historical background on pigments. I was reading it on a train and the woman sitting next to me asked about it--she is a costume designer and needs historically acurate information on which dyes were available in which period.

All those exotic and cryptic names of pigments take on personality and meaning when you read this: rose madder, Prussian blue, burnt sienna. It's as much a travel book as a history. Ms. Finlay has researched and traveled the path of each pigment. She weaves anecdotes with historically based tales to create vivid portraits of the dramatic and highly varied origins of each pigment. Highly recommended.

I've read every book listed on Amazon on T.R. and some that are not and this book is the best by far. It is written by an expert in the field---full of facts and full of fun tidbits that I didn't find elsewhere. The book provides a multidimensional picture of a complicated man. It's entertaining without all the conjecture that often finds itself into today's history books. What a read! After 900 pages I still want more---really difficult to put down. Highly recommended.

Very Informative and Entertaining, the subjects are broken down into categories such as literature, games, sports and pets.  The book includes many period illustrations and has a great deal of information condensed into just a little more than 200 pages.  A must read for anyone studying or recreating the middle ages.  It explains and documents the information given while still remaining light and fun to read.
