This book was in-depth and a great gift for those with a passion for celebrities in eras that could act. This book consists of beautiful stills and movie shots that I have not scene together in one volume before. Again a great gift for those who are passionate on the subject. ( )Cette critique a été rédigée pour LibraryThing Member Giveaways. An absolutely delightful take on history! I adored this book from the first page to the last. It provides a brief recounting of the lives of 50 of the most unique people ever to grace this planet. I'm not sure about the hotness factor of quite a few of them, but I loved that it included people known for their intellect and monogamy and not just historical hussies :) Well researched, well laid out, and charmingly informative. Introduced me to a few characters I had not met previously! Well Done! Cette critique a été rédigée pour LibraryThing Member Giveaways. I enjoyed this book, it was a fun, quick read. I like that the author did extensive research and found the historical passages adequate. I found out information that was new to me, along with what everybody knows. I would look foreward to more books by this author. Cette critique a été rédigée pour LibraryThing Member Giveaways. I like the concept, and it was interesting, but it left me wanting more. The snippets of each of the historical characters were just a bit short for me. Also, the title is a bit misleading. "Heartthrob" was a stretch for most, and most of the fun facts had nothing to do with the status. That said, it is a great read for people interested in expanding their historical knowledge. It can also be an good read to introduce history, with a twist, to teenagers.*I received this free in exchange for an honest review*
"From Benjamin Franklin to Benazir Bhutto, Murphy introduces 50 historical crushes in chronological order. . . . While the short biographical sketches are informative and interesting, the titillating nature of the sex-life column should have teens tittering. The further reading section includes many similar books that could spark interest in historical scandals. Not a book to be read from beginning to end, but surely a tantalizing start for a beginning researcher." "The good thing about falling for a dead person is that they never leave you, as Murphy and Fryd demonstrate in this broad-ranging, tongue-in-cheek guide to the hotties of history. The diverse individuals profiled stand out for their commitment to social causes, artistic and political influence, and sheer audacity. Included are Frida Kahlo (“Even her eyebrows became icons”), Lord Byron (“Style of seduction: Breakin’ hearts”), Harry Houdini, Frederick Douglass, and even a few living people, such as Jane Goodall and Gloria Steinem. . . . With engrossing photos, lively quotations, and witty writing, it’s “the complete package”—just like Nellie Bly."
"Compiles photos and life stories of 50 of the sexiest men and women from history and asks the essential question: Would you really want to date them?"--dust jacket. Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |
