<h3>Review:</h3>
<p>You may wonder (not really) why it took me years to finish reading this book. The answer is, of course, that it didn't, but that Kobo had sold it to me, I started reading it, and then they took it away because of bullshit reasons, so I restarted it once I found it on Kindle Unlimited.<br /><br />Now, about the book: it's quite awesome. The author brings an encyclopedic knowledge of random trivia and organizes it into a coherent tale covering some 50 years. I am not sure what the point of the story actually <b>is</b> but it's very interesting and quite a bit of fun to read.</p>
