Quick, Fun Facts

I enjoyed learning about some of interesting facts and history about New York. I have visited often and now feel as if I have more respect and knowledge for the state and its history. This is a quick read, which was great and the narrator did an great job as well. I noticed that this author has a collection of "fun fact" books and I intend on listening to those as well

An Empirical study of the Empire state

Bill O'Neill returns to his American State series with New York, the 11th state to join the Union, but honestly not all that much is common knowledge of NY beyond just NYC. Thankfully, O'Neill spends a good portion of this text informing the listener of what exactly else goes on in the Empire state, beyond just the Big Apple. O'Neill spends time on pop culture, famous figures, events and pastimes that all got their start (or their big break) in NY.

Loved it! Great info on NEW YORK!

First off, I'm an original east-coaster (now in Pacific NW) from Philly and have literally only set foot in New York once in my life LOL. This was great!! I loved all the info about a state I embarrassingly knew little about. Great trivia! A broad/wide variety of topics, all kinds of fascinating stuff! Love these books! Definitely recommend this book and all books by Bill O'Neill! :)

Fun information about New York

I really enjoy these trivia books. I've listened to a couple Bill O'Neill trivia books and they are always full of good trivia. I love the way the information is broken down into categories and then questions are asked. I also have time to think about the answer before it's given to me. I'm a native New Yorker (not from the city) so I found this book especially fun. The narration is also well done!
