This book covers sayings and phrases we've grown up knowing as "common knowledge" as being "lies." It explains for example why two and two does not always equal four and how the earth is not round, etc.
I skipped the topics that did not interest me or those which I already knew the truth of. Some interesting tidbits, but this book would be most interesting to history buffs. An ok read, but nothing special really. Two out of five.
