Mr. America: How Muscular Millionaire Bernarr Macfadden Transformed the Nation Through Sex, Salad, and the Ultimate Starvation Diet

Easy, Entertaining, Fun

I had a hard time putting down this book and I'm really not that kind of reader. I finished it in just a couple of days. The story of Bernarr McFadden is one of those rags to riches to rags stories. He was the victim of his own hype. A victim in that he started to believe he was as brilliant as he convinced his customers he was. Then he started thinking he was better than them and that's when things went wrong. Kind of like many of our modern politicians. You have to wonder what this guy could have done in the age of 500 TV channels and the internet and all. It was a very well written book that I thoroughly enjoyed.
