Nice
It's ok not the best but still very informative
A great read
Love the insight
Contains some fake information
I enjoyed it up until Ring Around the Rosie. A Google search quickly disproves it, even Snopes says it’s a lie, but the book makes it seem as if it’s “debatable” but it’s not, it’s not about the plague. I don’t trust any of the other information if it wants to treat urban myths as evidence.
