Review: Not your usual biography!
Rating: 4 out of 5
Date: 02 6, 2014
Format is not like a typical biography; more like a textbook.  It did convey the complexities of Houdini and imparted knowledge that I did not have about his contemporaries.  I did have some background but the depth of Houdini's early childhood and its effect on his later life was stressed through out the book.  If you have no knowledge of Houdini other than his name then you will enjoy this book.
