A list of historical facts
I got this for a friend who's a huge fan of trivia, and it certainly delivers on obscure facts. It's packed with all sorts of unexpected historical tidbits and fascinating details that you definitely wouldn't find in a regular textbook. However, for my personal taste, I found the presentation a bit jarring. It jumps from one topic to the next without much connective tissue, and while each piece of information is interesting, it felt like a random enumeration of facts, even if it’s organized by chapters. I think it would benefit immensely from some clear headings or summaries to give a better sense of context for each article, rather than just being separated by little stars. It's great for quick dips, but for a more cohesive read, I prefer something with a stronger narrative flow.

Entertaining
This book is a collection of very short, strange situations and facts (I am guessing). Some of this could be anecdotal with parts difficult to validate but this makes for a very entertaining read! Personally I prefer longer, more in depth writing to be considered a story but this makes a great bathroom or wait room read.
