Favorite Lines:
Because this is a word search book, I thought I would share a few that caught my eye that were featured in this book:
“James Dean’s first professional acting job was for a Pepsi commercial in 1949. He was cast as part of an ensemble for a Pepsi commercial and was seen dancing and singing around a jukebox.”
“A mono copy of The Beatle’s 1968 chart-topper, “White Album”, is the most expensive vinyl record ever sold. The record was sold for $790,000 at Julien’s auction house in Los Angeles, California, on December 5, 2015.”
“Mr. Potato Head ran for mayor in 2985, breaking a Guinness World Record by receiving four postal votes, the most for a toy in a political campaign”
My Opinion:
I received a copy of this book from the author in exchange for my honest opinion.
I have to say this is a first for me to review a puzzle book but I figured I love puzzles and I love books and since this is a book review blog, why not? This is a word search book that has a theme centered around the baby boomer generation. It features facts mostly from the 1940s-1980s that cover a variety of topics from TV shows, famous actors, major events, pop culture, and more.
I was pleasantly surprised by the organization and care to detail that went into this book. Not only does it include the actual word search itself and a fun fact on each page, but there are also a few bonus pages with trivia questions, jokes, and more.
I could see this being a fun way to take a trip down memory lane for those that belong to the baby boomer generation and, for those of us who belong in younger generations, it is a great way to learn a lot of new facts about fun historical events that you might not have known before; I know I learned several.
Summary:
Overall, this is a fun word search puzzle book full of nostalgic and interesting facts from the 1940s-1980s. While this would probably be more appreciated by the baby boomer generation, I think it can be enjoyed by anyone who enjoys word searches.
