A review of Strange Comments Feb 09, 2003
This work summarizes Dr. King's philosophy, as a historian, reflecting upon thoughts covering a lifetime of study. It is well-written in an easy flowing manner with a little wit and much wisdom. It seems to serve the purpose of a double-edge sword, cutting through humor with deep thought.
I enjoyed his lively portrayal of modern history given in item 66: "What fine people we are until we consider what our history has been. Take the 20th century, another century of devastation."
Comments by D. Moore, Roman Historian

Memorable gnomic sentences Jan 21, 2003
Frank P.King's "Strange Comments" are reflections based on his own experience of life,passing abruptly from idea to idea,subject to subject, "on topics most of us are concerned about." At whatever page the work is opened the reader will find some wise thought expressed in vivid and memorable gnomic sentences. There is no systematic composition; the arrangement of themes or ideas is haphazard,and the subjects dealt with have little connection with the title. An insightful and delightful little book.

Thought Provoking Jan 19, 2003
I find the content of the book Strange Comments to be extremely stimulating and thought provoking. It is the type of book that can be used in the classroom as well as by scholars and entrepreneurs to stimulate thought in assisting one to face reality when making efficient business or lifelong decisions. This is the first book that I have seen that does not only provide the student or reader with a wealth of profound knowledge of situations, but it also provides insight into many historical notions that can actually be used to enhance decision making in planning a course of action.Due to the method in which the book is laid out and the numerical accounting of phrases, one can easily annotate ideas in which he or she may wish to use or revisit in those moments of question. The book contains a wealth of knowledge for centering situations to be viewed in their true essence. On numerous occasions the book gives one the comfort of knowing that he or she is not alone in many conflicting situations and that much of what confronts us today is but a daily dose of history. I would definitely recommend the reviewing of this book by students, scholars, and business professionals.
