Great entertaining information

I really enjoyed listening to this book. Fun and interesting information. Narrated beautifully. Highly recommended for anyone wanting something easy to listen to with interesting facts.

Things I learned at 73

Amazing that I am still learning things I should have known before. Why don't they teach this in school?

Interesting

Title says it all Now I know
Things I never have read about are in this book so it was worth it

Third one is the best!

Could have sworn this was on sale at some point (Daily Deal?) but missed it the last go-round. Audible had a Series Sale in April 2022 where this was available for $6, and figured it was worth a try. It's basically 100+ trivia segments of a few minutes each, and it's both interesting and funny. Thought about getting the first two releases in the series as they were also on sale, but the audio quality for the first two ranged from Recorded In A Closet to Narrator Has A Cold.

loads of interesting facts!!

great book, filled with incredible, interesting facts. some I didn't know, and others I learned more about.

excellent, I hope, in some way wholly lost on me

a lazy slap dash collection of facts entirely unremarkable to a reasonably read college freshman, things presented as somehow uniquely interesting that so fail that test that I was unable even while listening to must up the mite of interest needed to even try to recall if I'd even been aware is this tidbit of medium.
