Nonetheless, the book is filled with easily digestable quick blurbs and factoids, that makes it great for a coffeetable conversation starter or bathroom guest entertainment. I've lived in Boston for a few years now, but still discovered a few things about places I knew existed, and a few places I didn't know even existed !" -MadeInUSAReview
