Urban Legends: The Truth Behind All Those Deliciously Entertaining Myths That Are Absolutely, Positively, 100% Not True
- Book Review, by Richard Roeper

Book Description
Now available in paperback, this book has been updated to include more humorous, entertaining myths that keep the rumor mills churning. Richard Roeper, the current co-host of Ebert & Roeper and the Movies, knows a lot about urban legends-tales so deliciously tasty that you desperately want it to be true. Find out: Does the "bonsai kitten" Web site celebrate cruelty to animals -- or is it just a tasteless joke? What's the real story behind the so-called Ivy League porn film supposedly in production at Yale? Could it really be true that a man named George Turklebaum dropped dead at his desk-and none of his co-workers noticed for five days? Each of these stories and hundreds more like them have been told and retold, embellished and reworked. They're fun to hear or read, and even more fun to retell. They're part of our contemporary folklore.
