A Treasury of Deception: Liars, Misleaders, Hoodwinkers, and the Extraordinary True Stories of History's Greatest Hoaxes, Fakes and Frauds Audiobook

" Another interesting book from Michael Farquhar. I have read every one that I can get my hands on and they are all interesting bits of history and always funny. "

" Oh my, how we hoodwink eachother. Still, it's good for a laugh! Keep in mind that history repeats itself!!! "

" am still reading it, so no comment yet so far "

" Not nearly as niche as the monocled man on the cover would have you believe. This is not a rib-tickling compendium of turn of the century bamboozlers, it is a perfunctory review of world history that somehow manages to lump WWI and WWII under the banner of "hoaxes." I've been had! "

" Great book....lot of information and facts I did not know about. "

" This book is interesting but is essentially a collection of trivia without much to hold it together other than the naughtiness of idolizing criminals a little bit. Again, would be better suited as an internet article - there's no need for this list to be bound. "

" If you had a feeling people were lying to you, this book will confirm it and let you know that they've been doing it as long as humankind was able to make a statement. "

" It starts off promising enough... you're like "Oooh! Historical tidbits!!" but then things get reeeeeeeeeally repetitive. And the author's voice kind of rubs me the wrong way. Too many cheesy remarks and promotions for other books. "

" Interesting people we don't typically hear about; you will most likely know some of the cases. Shortish pieces good for listening to when your time might be cut up. At end are a bunch of literary deceivers which I really enjoyed. "

" A fun little diversion. "

" This is a great one for laying on the tank. The title is pretty clear, I think. If this sort of thing fascinates you as it does me (this one now holds a place on my downstairs shelf of All Things Fraudulent), this is a good little compendium. "

" it doesn't keep my attention very well. I've been on and off trying to read it all month, more off then on. "

" Great, I love this series. They are fast fun and entertaining. The don't even read like non-fiction for those who don't like it. "
