Eu não sabia muito o que esperar desse livro. Foi um desses achados com
a letra W que eu imaginei que não seria tão chato de ler, e não foi mesmo. É
mais um livro de curiosidades, que foca nas pessoas envolvidas nas vidas de
grandes nomes mundiais. Outro fator para ter sido escolhido é que ele é
ilustrado. Gostei, foi uma leitura leve.
