A dated, anything prior to 2002, but interesting review of television, celebrities, sports and politics Jumped The Shark. Would love to see an updated version of this book. However, this will not be since the author sold the site to TV Guide and the Jump The Shark web site is no more.

I read this book back in 2012. Fun and interesting book. Nothing profound but it gives examples about when not to go too far. The premise of this book is that someone "jumps the shark" when they can no longer be taken seriously. The title and expression comes from Fonz's vaulting over sharks when water-skiing.

Trite book, but very enjoyable for the trivia-obsessed. I actually enjoyed it more than I expected to. 3.5 stars, or three overall. Cautiously recommended for fans of late twentieth century pop culture.

It is a good look at what is on the menus at some of the fast food places out there. This book explains how the fast food places got their start and what the specialty items on the menu are. In the back of the book it tells how some of the items are made. It is a really interesting book.
