the ideal book to take at work
I read their first one, the one about animals (in the delightful italian version).
I found this one a bit hard to digest at times, because apparently they know one more than anyone else, but overall a great read for when you're at work and cannot spend too much of your attention on a novel.Viollka said on Aug 26, 2010 | Add your feedback

It always arouse my curiosity as to how flawed facts or beliefs can take root and become common sense. However, this book won't give you any answer of this. Anyway, the book is really entertaining.
