In this book, the author’s eight outing in the series, Bill O’Neill turns his attention for his readers to the state of Pennsylvania and why it is already great. The thing is, that as Americans we already know America is already, barring some of the day to day situations we experience. The author in his unique manner of writing by using trivia, has already shown us why California, Texas and my home state of New York is already great today.

In each of the six chapters this book contains:
1- Pennsylvania’s History
2- Pennsylvania’s Pop Culture
3- Pennsylvania’s Attractions
4- Pennsylvania’s Inventions, Ideas and More
5- Pennsylvania’s Biggest Haunts, Supernatural and Other Weird Facts
6- Pennsylvania’s Sports

Mr. O’Neill begins each chapter by taking an item regarding its topic and gives his readers a brief, yet informative description of about it, this is followed by some random facts, which is then culminated by his giving some questions related to the information which the chapter has just given, naturally the answers are given as well.

All in all, this book is a wonderful compendium of informational trivia, from the simplistic to the interesting to the amazing, trivia which should be quite interesting to anyone who reads it.

One of the interesting tidbits the book contains is that Pennsylvania had been the birthplace of the Big Mac.

For wanting to share the information he’s gathered with everyone who reads it, I’ve given Mr. O’Neill the 5 STARS he’s garnered from this voracious reviewer. ( )
