"I wish there was a shelf for "gave up". I don't give up on books very often, but this book just didn't grab me. I've got a shelf full of more interesting books that have called me away from it. Maybe I'll get back to it someday."
"Never heard of this man until I read this book. Dan Rice was an early vaudevillian, politician, writer and celebrity of the mid-late 19th century, whose life was filled with humor and variety. Mr. Carlyon offers a richly detailed, fascinating glimpse at celebrity well over 100 years ago."
