There are plenty of heroes that have gone down through history. (Abe Lincoln as an obvious example.) BUT... DON'T SAY THAT THEY ALL ARE WELL KNOWN TO THE HISTORY BOOKS!!! This book is a history of the important people who should've gotten the good one, including Allan Pinkerton, who was the one who watched over Abe Lincoln, Frank Epperson, who made the popsicle, and, if you want half-famous, the part of Tom Jefferson that made him introduce Mac 'n Cheese to the U.S. This book also has 9 or so villains, like Lester Wunderman, who is the moron who invented junk mail and email SPAM, David Wallerstien, who made fast food, and Robert Propst, who made the office cubicle since the office was a very stressful place, but accidentally helped what he was fighting against (his name is circled, saying, "Totally Accidental Villain").
This book also shows that history isn't boring, because this is a history book and it sure isn't boring. Keeps you going with...HUMOR! and...AWESOME GRAPHICS!
Book Rating:★★★★★!!!! TOTALLY AWSOME!!!!!
