Rating: 5/5-Amazing!

Have you wondered about Harry Houdini, the super magician? His milk-can escape, aviation, relations with the government and much more are packed in the 560 pages.

The book guides you through Houdini's childhood, jobfinding, road to millions, and death. Houdini started out poor, barely able to buy food and then turned into a millionare- the book tells you how he did it. It's great, and a good read. The book was pieced together from hundreds and hundreds of bits and pieces, and shows you it all. You will learn about Harry's wife, Bess, assistants and more. The writing is great, and I really do recommend this book to anyone.

The book is great. I AGAIN recommend this book to ANYONE, it was great. I'd give it a 20/10 at least. If you like biographies, this one of the best I've read.
