The Remarkable Millard Fillmore: The Unbelievable Life of a Forgotten President

THE REMARKABLE MILLARD FILLMORE: THE UNBELIEVABLE LIFE OF A FORGOTTEN PRESIDENT: George Pendle: Three Rivers Press: Biography: 252 pgs.

I love to read biographies but when I saw this was waiting for me on the hold shelf, even I said to myself, "Why in the world did I put this on hold?"

I'm glad I did, because this is one hilarious book. The author takes the most boring and basic of facts that he unearthed about Fillmore and builds up an unbelievable and hilarious portrait of one of our lesser known presidents. While this is classified as a biography, I wouldn't use it as a basis for a research paper. A very funny read.
