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.

Order, I say!

This was a great collection of completely random facts. My favorite is the one about the jury in the elevator. The narrator does a good job of using inflection to keep the narration moving. However, I really didn’t like that there is no order to any of the facts. It would have been nice if they would have been categorized and put into different sections. There are different chapters, but there is no rhyme or reason as to the division, other than they are all about 30 minutes long. I feel this would have been much more useful if it were categorized and ordered.

I was provided with a free copy of this audio book for my honest review. The views expressed here are entirely my own.

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.

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.

I am very grateful that I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request ; I have voluntarily left this review.

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.

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!

Wonderfully done!

Oh my goodness, we love this one! Great facts, some that you will be surprised to hear! My teens enjoyed this as much as I did. I received this book free, and am leaving this unbiased review voluntarily!

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.
