This is also one of the few books that appeal to pretty much
everyone, and can be left out on the
coffee table to universal acclaim. Small children like it, because there are pictures and maps everywhere, and even a few
cartoons.
Teenagers like it because it's important-looking, easy to read, and
wiseass funny. Superficial adults think it looks classy; serious adults think it's just
cool.
Its only real flaw is that terrible title.
