Just enough tidbits to make you want to learn more., May 24 2010

This review is from: The Intellectual Devotional Biographies: Revive Your Mind, Complete Your Education, and Acquaint Yourself with the World's Greatest Personalities (Hardcover)
Although it is not an indepth analysis of each of the people it does give you enough information to want to learn more. I enjoy all of The Intellectual Devotionals and like getting to at least learn a little bit about a lot of famous people that I would never have time to read a full biography on. Well done and an excellent overview of some very interesting people.

This review is from: The Intellectual Devotional Biographies: Revive Your Mind, Complete Your Education, and Acquaint Yourself with the World's Greatest Personalities (Hardcover)
I bought the book for each of my high school graduating grandchildren. They will be off to college and have little time for pleasure reading. So, I thought it would be enjoyable, yet informative,short reads that might inspire them to learn more about that person.

We always keep a Compact Library, Bathroom Reader, or Cliff Note type of book in two spots in our home...the two most widely used bathrooms and our family room table. Instead of idle time, we brush up on biographies, culture, world events, etc. during spare time. Our 12 year old grandson devours this information, also. For the price the book is a steal, and we have several of them.
Listmania!
