A good book to relax

Bill O'Neil got a good amount of interesting and funny facts compiled in this book, so it's a good light reading between huge books. Rob Maxwell did an excellent job at narrating, with no visible hicups or problems.

The only downside is that no all the facts are really interesting, they could have chopped some off or replaced with something more interesting, and that there are a few points in the audio where there is the replay effect "

Interesting mix of information

If you enjoy trivia books, this is a good one. A good mixture of trivia from across the boards and the narration is decent.

A lot of good random information.

Listened to this while working from home and it helped pass the time with some random fun knowledge.

Very entertaining

I really enjoyed this. It was actually a little addicting. A wide variety of fun, interesting, humorous, weird and strange facts about on a wide range of topics. Everything from languages to people, places, food, entertainment, animals, insects and history. It's an entertaining hodge podge of facts. Some of the facts do involve adult topics so even though the facts are interesting and sometimes humorous it's not appropriate for all ages.

Half the fun of listening to an audiobook is learning something new with each book. This book definitely gives you numerous new things to add to your list of knowledge.

Rob Maxwell did a great job with the narration. Nice voice that is easy to listen to for long periods of time. His narration is clearly spoken with an even pace. Some of the facts are delivered with a chuckle some with a more serious tone depending what it was. It added life to each tidbit and made it fun. Very enjoyable.

There aren't really chapters so the only way to reference errors is by mentioning the story. There were a couple of repeated lines one I was able to note at the time was the fun fact about Timothy Murry.

I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and voluntarily provided this review.

Perfect for Trivia Stars

This book contains nothing but short, encyclopedia style entries about random facts or events in history. Arranged in no discernible order, it's hard to know what the purpose of such a book could be. Even if I was trying to find a specific entry or fact it might be difficult to do so. Still, it's fairly interesting reading and would likely keep you entertained on a car ride or during tedious household chores.

I really don't know how much of the knowledge I have retained as without context, the facts just go in one ear and out the other. Still, it might be useful for people who have a good memory or spend a lot of time playing trivia at bars.
