Reseñas de la Crítica

"Every story in the book is interesting, and Lewis includes a 'bonus fact' at the end of each story, which is a mini mind bender on its own." (BoingBoing)

"A mind-tickling encyclopedia... Now I Know is a treat in its entirety... an oasis of learning about what you don't yet know... but are glad you found." (Brain Pickings)

Entertaining & educational

Brief but with you just the right amount of detail. Writing style and reader made it perfect. I learned a lot.

Interesting Content... but....

I downloaded this to occupy the long hours during my weekly cross-country drives.... and while the content is generally fun and interesting, the narrator, Anthony Haden Salerno, is so annoying, so off-putting, so irritating, that it really detracts from the content. I've done a good bit of narration myself -- not audio books, but a great many video productions, a couple of documentaries, and thousands of commercials -- and I cannot imagine who cast this guy. I think his approach may work for other applications, but not this. Nonetheless, though, if you can get past that, the stories are generally good.

Interesting information

The content was very interesting, but the narrator's voice got on my nerves. Around every other sentence ended with a breathy, whispery delivery used for drama and emphasis. It quickly became annoying.

Great addition to Dan's daily emails

Great addition to Dan's daily emails and to his first book. Great for kids as well.

if jeopardy were a book...

very interesting collection of various bits of trivia. narration a little condisending in tone, but overall not bad.
