One chapter that was particularly interesting to read was chapter 11.  This chapter was titled "Life with Fred".  While explaining his personal life for the first time in the book, the authors added some great quotes from Fred.  One that stood out to me was, "It takes just as long to do it wrong as it does to do it right, so why not do it right?"  This applies to life in any situation, whether you are faced with an assignment in school or completing a project at work, always do the right thing.
I would recommend this book to anyone who is interested in how everyday luxuries work.  Who would have known that innovations that we use everyday were invented by a man who lived right next to us in Hallock, MN?  The amount of material in this book that relates to my life was great and interesting to read about.  Good stories and easy reading.
