I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book. I learned a lot about the history of Hasbro and the Hassenfeld family. I was really young when the toys started coming out. Although, I do remember playing with Mr. and Mrs. Potato Heads. Me and my sister would be entertained for hours mixing tons of different combinations with the parts. I did briefly play with GI Joe as well.

Mr. Miller gave me tons of information but in a way that made it enlightening and interesting to read. I did not feel like I was reading a history book. Every time I thought that was an "ah ha" moment, there was another one in that I would read about a few pages or chapters later. For anyone who is still a child at heart or wants to read the history of Hasbro should check out this book.

Ultimately an uplifting tale, this is a long story with a fair amount of detail centered around a pretty fascinating real life character. Due to the time he was born, I suspect those over 50 will enjoy this the most.

I really appreciate the review copy!!
