I especially liked... | ||
I loved this book from beginning to end. Reading my dad's copy inspired me to order one of my own so that I could finish it more quickly. | ||
When I finished reading this Book I wanted to... | ||
Read its sequel: Aristotle and an Aardvark go to Washington. (Yes, it's out there...I bought it too) | ||

Enlightened and entertained. | ||
The author of this Book... | ||
