This is a very entertaining book. You can read in short sittings or long stretches and there is always something new. Great series check them all out.I'm looking forward to the next book.
I enjoyed reading Knowledge Stew Volume 2 as much as the first volume. Many interesting facts to be learned by the reader. All sorts of topics are included. Definitely worth your time to read.
As with Volume 1, great book on facts with background essays on them. I love expanding my knowledge base and Volume 2 doesn't disappoint.
Very good editing and great flow from one topic to another. Again, as with most novels, there were a few typos, but forgivable. I don't think I've read one recent novel that didn't have a typo or two. I guess we just aren't as vigilant as we used to be. And that's sad, really.
