Not So Great Hoax Book,
By
This review is from: Great Hoaxes of the World: And the Hoaxers Behind Them (Paperback)
The title is, unsurprisingly, a hoax - unless you consider the UK equivalent to the world; they should have kept the original title "Hoaxers and Their Victims". While there was much amusing information, this seemed like a college thesis which had been rearranged into chapters and had a cover slapped on it. The Brits are known for dry humor, but this was simply dry. With so many references to hoaxers names (both those previously mentioned and those for which information was to come), it was extremely difficult to keep track of what any individual or group had done, let alone how these frequent references fit in with the current hoax under discussion. I would much prefer to read the Urban Legends Reference Pages website (URLs are not to be included, but when you get to the Snopes domain, you're in the right place :-). Someone please help me find a good hoax book, because this isn't it. . . - g^2
