Jedan od utisaka čitalaca:
I personally found this book different in a way that I really enjoyed. It sucked me in at the beginning with it`s first story about how a forgotten stove fire burned down 13,000 houses and blackened 300 acres when it could`ve been stopped with just the turn of a knob. Most stories I had never heard before and had me giggling to myself the whole way through. One of the best plots was when the CBS radio station in 1938 was trying to get more viewers, so they hired a theatre group to do a play over the station. The group had the wonderful idea to trick the listeners into believing there were actually aliens that landed on Earth. I could imagine myself believing in the story because they were so descriptive in what the aliens looked like and were doing. Another one of my favorite stories was the `Unsinkable Titanic`, it had me wanting to yell at the captain for not slowing the boat down. If he would`ve just followed the instructions he was given, he could`ve saved over 1,500 passengers. Since everybody believed that the Titanic was unsinkable, nobody thought anything of the iceberg at first because they believed it would have no effect on the boat. It was supposed to be the best of it`s time matter of fact. Overall, this book has given me knowledge about the World`s most forgotten moments, and has helped me explain why certain things are the way they are
