Just Kill Me par Adam Selzer

This book was a lot of fun. It was funny and interesting, and I loved the protagonist. I did think the ending was weak, but overall, I would recommend this to anyone looking for a dark comedy, or is interested in ghosts.

The Smart Aleck's Guide to American History par Adam Selzer

It took me a while to get through this, but that's mostly because it's very easy to pick up and put down without losing your place or getting confused when you come back to it. It's almost a history textbook, but filled with snark and silly asides and funny quotes. It reminds me a bit of [b:The Daily Show with Jon Stewart Presents America|706|The Daily Show with Jon Stewart Presents America|Jon Stewart|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1157224104s/706.jpg|1589081], only with more history and fewer gags.

I know some folks don't like all the public domain images, but I kind of loved that the pictures were what you'd find in any history text book. Besides, the captions were usually funny enough to make the pictures entertaining.

I'd definitely recommend this as a resource for teens doing research or for anyone who wants to brush up on their US history without falling asleep.… (plus d'informations)

H. H. Holmes: The True History of the White City Devil par Adam Selzer

I enjoyed this book, although it took quite some time to
read.. A lot of research went into this book, so much detail. Gives a different 'look 'at Holmes. Not as much about the stories we often hear about him but more of the true character. A real con artist.
