Reviews

[Elwin Kline · Rating 3 out of 5]

I received a triple stack of these books actually back in Xmas last year and have been slowly chipping away at them.

These are filled with essentially trivia knowledge about haunted houses, exotic foods, sporting events, etc. They are honestly perfect bathroom reads, as you can jump in, read about different species of bats, and jump out feeling like you've picked away a little bit of interesting knowledge.

I would say these are great gifts, even for non-readers as the content is usually 1-3 pages max per subject.

Working on "Extraodinary Facts" as well at the same time (hey, I have two bathrooms... lol) and I did notice a bit of overlap. For example, the exotic food section with things like puffer fish, maggot cheese, etc... you will find these in both books. I am sure the 3rd book, "Unusual Knowledge" will have the same.

All in all though, these are fun. Fair warning though, the content is a bit dated, as the most current events you'll find within the books are early 2000's at best and goes to the left pretty far.. maybe even as far as the 1950's.

As a person who likes to constantly read something while I eat, this book has become a close friend of mine. I like the personable narration style and the short and intriguing articles I can quickly finish over a snack. I've probably read the entire thing twice.

I also appreciate that it's very objective and impartial, especially concerning religion.

I received a few sequels in the series and was not disappointed. If you like pondering over random and interesting facts, I highly recommend it.
