Are you the kind of individual that loves a good, juicy fact? Are you the type of person that always wants to know where something comes from or why we use a particular phrase?

Why exactly is that gorilla looking so lazy? How much would you pay for a lipstick? Why does the term deadline have such a deadly meaning behind it?

This encyclopedia of facts is going to allow you to delve deeper into the world of humanity than you ever thought possible, and we will throw in some facts about the animal kingdom as well. Covering countries far and wide and various time spans, you are going to be taken on a journey that will further expand your own knowledge on all things connected to being a human being.

Be that person that always knows that trivia or understands the way of the world and why we do certain things. Be that person that knows all about the history of Lincoln and his close scrape in a duel, or how Hitler managed to deal with the tax man.

Fun and informative

Lots of facts told in an entertaining way. Filled with tons of fun knowledge. I was hooked from the start.

Tons of Trivia

This book was given to me for free at my request and I provided this voluntary review.

Bill O'Neil collects hundreds of fun trivia tidbits. He usually includes a short story, etymology, explanation, a joke or commentary.

Scott Miller narrates everything with friendly, enthusiastic energy.

It was easy and interesting listening. I just wish there were a little more organization of the facts.

Really fascinating trivias

I just love how this book is packed with really random, yet, fun and interesting trivias. Of course there are some that are familiar, but I always end up learning something new everytime I listen. Great stuff.

I was given this book for free as a review copy. I am glad for it, and this review is solely based on my own experience.

However, it turns out that…

Other than one or two mistakes, the facts are interesting and informative. However, it turns out that Australia and Italy don’t share a border and that Princess Anastasia didn’t take the first ever selfie. It seems that this book needed a bit of an edit, some proofreading and fact checking. If you thought that I checked all of the facts, you would be wrong.

My only real gripe is the ENDLESS use of phrases like “it seems that”, “it turns out that” and “it appears that”. And I do mean endless. A runner up for overused phrase would be “if you thought that, you would be wrong”

The narration was good and the narrator made the book his own in his reading

Fun and Interesting!!

If you like learning about why we call things what we do or the meaning of words and such, you will love this audiobook. You will not only learn facts but the history and meaning behind it!

The narration is pleasantly unexpected for this genre. Usually these type audiobooks are boring and will put you to sleep. Not this one though I could not stop listening until I finished the whole book!

Fun Fast Facts

On a note to parents- There is some mature content so you may want to listen with your kids. There's a fact section that goes into how sex was invented... we skipped it since I was listening with my kids. Beyond, that it's been quite entertaining and informative on random fun facts and the short stories behind them. It is well narrated and a fun listen, it easy to listen in small sections during quick car trips.

I enjoyed the varied and interesting information

This is my third book by Bill O'Neill narrated by Scott Miller; I like Bill's books and the way Scott narrates. I like listening to them while driving, working around the house and even at work when appropriate. I recommend this book to anyone who likes learning varied and interesting facts as well as those who like history.

Fun book

For anyone into fun facts and trivia, this is a must listen. The only down point was I wish it was longer. I would recommend this to anyone with an inquisitive mind. The narrator did a great job of keeping you engaged. I was given a free copy of this audio in return for an unbiased review.
