More great info

This is the twelfth book I’ve read/listened to by this author and I would listen to another, but I guess that’s obvious by now. How he finds all these interesting facts astounds me. He organizes them well and in a way that I can skip a chapter if I choose.

This is the fifth book I’ve listened to by this narrator ( Scott Miller ) and I would listen to another. He speaks clearly, with the correct amount of enthusiasm and expression.

There are no explicit sex scenes, excessive violence or swearing.

The Great book of Pennsylvania

This book was full of things I would think most of us Pennsylvanians know.I expected this to follow a timeline,but Three Mile Island was tossed in there WAY before the actual event on a timeline. While Scott Miller did a fun,super dooper job narrating,I found his mispronunciation of Lancaster,Downingtown and Kutztown irritating. Othewise it was fun and brought back some memories.

There are sections on history, sports, tourist attractions and celebrities presented in small bites of information. Scott Miller's narration is top-notch as well. It's a fun listen.

Annoyingly repetitious

Material presented was annoyingly repetitious. Content could have been covered in one hour or less.
