This is one of my favorite books from my childhood and one I still enjoy today. The adventures of two children who run away from home, live in a museum, and solve an ages old mystery. Children's literature does not get any better!
An excellent book. You do not have to be a religious person in order to enjoy this book. It gives the reader brief glimpses into many religions you otherwise may know nothing about. From the Amish to a snake handling church, you learn many things as well as enjoy AJ Jacobs wry humor. All in all, a great read!

This was an excellent book. Not only do you get brief glimpses inside Jacobs life, such as his appearance on Who Wants To Be a Millionaire. You also gain the benefit of reading the encyclopedia yourself, only you get to skip the dry boring parts and receive information on such subjects as the first embalming.

Reading this book is like being a fly on the wall in the Smith household. It is amazing how entertaining Kevin Smith can make day to day life!!!(2 of 2 readers found this comment helpful)
