I really enjoyed this book. The stories cover a vast array of different topics and subject areas, which makes it perfect for anyone who likes to learn fun little general knowledge ‘fact-lets’. The tone is informative, yet humorous, with the author’s voice shining through to tell each story with his own slant.
I dipped in and out of this book over the course of a couple of days as the format was great for doing just this. The stories included are all quite short, providing just enough information about each topic to give a good picture. I was intrigued by quite a few of the weird and wonderful facts, so I fully intend to look into some of the content in greater depth.
An excellent collection of stories which are most definitely interesting!
Thank you to the author and LibraryThing for providing me with a review copy free of charge in exchange for an honest and unbiased view.

I don’t do book reviews like you keep seeing, as I find that some give too much of the plot away and I personally hate that, as it makes the book not worth reading. I much prefer to take the authors back cover write up as a review as it can either intrigue you enough to read the book of provide you enough information to make you decide that the book is not for you.
My review rules are: The more stars, the more I liked it.
If there are too many typos or errors the less stars I give
If the storyline or plot is poor or contains too many errors, the characters are too weak, the ending lacking something, then the less stars I give.
Simple, uncomplicated and to the point without giving anything away.
Some of the books I read have been given to me by the author as a pre-release copy and this does not bias my reviews in any way
