3,4 of 5 stars!


I love the way this books illustration can summarizing the biographies of the famous people. Instead writing all about the information, the author choose the unique way to describes with graffiti, graphic images and some fun facts. I love when behind the sketches there is some caption or fun facts that grab my attention a lot. I can know the information what i did'nt learn before at school or another biography books.

For example, Have you known before that when Abraham Lincoln was child he being kicked by horse? Alfred Hitchock dislike fried egg and doesn't have an navel in his stomach? Charlie chaplin have four wives and when he died his corpse being stolen by someone? But the interesting fact is i just know that Elvis Presley is have black belts for martial arts (karate) and Hellen keller can read german, italy,greek and french Woww! >__<

I recommend this books for a reader who doesn't love read biography since it is biography with different packaging is. You will love the illustration and some fun facts behind this books :)
