Great Book! Funny, Witty and Entertaining!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
This book is one of a kind! I bought quite a few of them for my family and friends for the upcoming holiday season. It's a great balance between American History facts and comedy. It's a great read for all adults with or without a lot of knowledge in American History. I would definitely recommend this book to others!

The writing is quick and witty. Very funny twist on history. If you are not careful, you might actually learn something (I did). A good book for the money.

That is all I can say about this book! You will never think U.S. History is boring again after thumbing through this work of genius. I have never laughed out loud so many times while reading a book...seriously. You MUST get a copy and tell your friends to do the same.
Hilarious

I wish U.S. History was this entertaining when I was in school, I would have gotten better grades! The authors do a great job of intertwining actual historical events with a modern day twist. I laughed out loud many times, very entertaining!

Fast, funny read. If I'd had these guys for History teachers, I might have stayed awake long enough to learn something.
