Absolute trash. I don’t know what’s more absurd: the assertion that genetics determines politics or that immigrants are more likely to be bipolar. 
Finished out of spite and because it informed another book I read recently.

Fat ham is 90 minutes of Hamlet mayhem.
This play is absolutely how Shakespeare is meant to be done.  Yes there’s tragedy, but there is also some of the funniest stuff I have ever read in my life. Highly, highly recommend. I absolutely loved it. Loved it. Loved it. Loved it.

This book can really be slow in parts. But if you are a fan of Lego, it’s a great read.
