Review of advance copy
January 11, 2026
I enjoyed this but I'm not sure why. It does capture that feeling of being sucked into the Wikipedia vortex, you start by checking the capital city of Timor l'Este and end up finding out about the difference between species of tortoises via who knows what.

Elledge having a very engaging style definitely adds to the experience.

Oddly Goodreads says this is prepublication, but the copy I have is definitely a normal gift what I got for Xmas!
