"Three may keep a secret, if two of them are dead." Did you know Pope John VIII was actually a woman? Or that the U.S. Government smashed a bacteria-laden lightbulb in a New York subway station in 1966 to see how long it would take to travel throughout the entire system? You will after reading the Book of Secrets. Everybody loves secrets and the world is full of them. And now the most interesting secrets are unleashed in Book of Secrets. Full of fascinating facts, this is one read you won't be able to put down! The clandestine, the covert, the surreptitious, furtive, and hush-hush are all revealed. Government secrets, religious secrets, food secrets, economic secrets, sexual secrets, secret societies, secret recipes-they're all in here. Within the pages of this book, one can find practical secrets revealed, such as how to guarantee a better seat on an airplane and how to win friends and influence people. Book of Secrets also contains some not-so-practical tidbits (all the more intriguing) such as famous American members of the Freemasons. Each book is bound with an irrestistible black leatherette flexicover with ribbon marker.… (meer)

Tidbits of unknown information...like who is legally allowed to spy, where unused subway tunnels are in New York, where Queen Boudica is buried, how to cook rice, the last person to die in the Tower of London, secrets of eggs etc. Interesting trivia. ( )

The book contains a good deal of blatantly inaccurate information. No sources are cited, and much of it is simply opinion. Furthermore, many of these "secrets" just aren't very secret. There's nothing in here that a random internet surf wouldn't get you faster. Do yourself a favor and pass on this. ( )

Four stars for sheer portability...I got this book on an impulse. It was reasonably priced when I was ordering other stuff from 'Think Geek', so I decided to treat myself (heck, you can never have too many books right!)Its a tiny book, not much more than a couple of inches along each side, which means you can literally carry it in your back pocket and not even worry about it getting bent out of shape.The premise of the book is to share some of the secrets about the world around you. However, if I was going to have a criticism then it would be that some of these secrets are anything but.For instance, the big secret that there is a massive particle accelerator below the French/Swiss border called the Large Hadron Collider. IT was never a secret, but for the last 6 months its been one of the biggest stories in the world (second only to Obama's victory to me).But the pace is good, with each vignette only taking a few minutes to read. So, if you like portable reading then this book will hit the spot. ( )
