Customer Reviews

Excellent Vice Presidents Info!

Everything I needed to know about VP's is in this book. It's a great read. I bought it for my kids and we couldn't stop reading the trivia questions.

Fun stuff, easy to find what you need

I've been looking for information on Vice Presidents ever since we came *this* close to electing a former VP, but instead installed arguably one of the most powerful Vice Presidents in history with Dick Cheney. The facts in this book include many tidbits I have found on my own in reading Presidential biographies, but its nice to have them all in one place.It was also fun to read through the book as it is still unclear who Kerry will pick as a running mate, and to think about all of the different ways VPs have been selected in the history of our country.If you are at all interested in the personal politics of the U.S. government, this is a nice niche addition to your reading list!

Interesting and funny

Got the book as a reference source and it was chock full of information as I expected, what I didn't expect was it to be so entertaining and funny. While today's VPs are pretty standard cookie-cutters and boring, some of the guys from the 1800s are amazing.... gay, alcoholic, crooked, weird, and just great characters.

This is really interesting stuff about our VP's

I've always known about Presidents, but this book OPENED MY EYES when it comes to Vice Presidents. So many interesting trivia questions and lists. Plus, I loved the pictures! My favorite Vice President was Thomas Marshall, and the portrait is right on the money! GREAT BOOK.
