- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Definitely funny - I laughed out loud on average once every other page - but ultimately it's a book of amusing trivia.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5A quick read that is fairly fun. It sometimes just goes for the easy laugh, when a little work in why some dumb law was passed might have been even funnier or at least added some depth. Probably get just as much enjoyment occasionally just reading the blog that this is based on.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5This book leads to important questions, like "would zombie George Washington automatically outrank everyone in the US army?"This is a run through some very odd laws that have been passed throughout history. Better structured than most books of its type, it's arranged by date for older laws, then alphabetically by US state for modern American laws and then alphabetically by country for international laws. The book has also been checked, these laws aren't factoids the author has read in a source or heard through word-of-mouth, he's gone and checked that they were all actual laws at some point. The translation of the German is decent too.I think the ancient laws are the most interesting, because, as the author hints at, if we could understand what was behind some of them, we understand those cultures better, but the whole book is interesting.It's bitty, the way compilation books are, but it's good fun to dip in and out of, and gives backgrounds for most of the laws which mean, well they don't make sense, but at least make more sense. Definitely recommended.
