Overall I liked the book but it did have a couple shortcomings. First, and this is very minor, there are a few duplicate entries. Second, and this is most annoying, there is a severe dearth of punctuation which sometimes makes it difficult to understand the facts of the entry. Between that and some subtle grammar issues, it appears this was written and/or proofread by someone with a sixth or seventh grade level of English. I This should not detract from your enjoyment of the book. There are many amusing and interesting facts that you can use to amaze your friends the next time you're out drinking, etc. I think it was worth the price and I would recommend it for any trivia geeks (like me).
I hope there are more books published in this series. This has been an awesome read. I read a little from it each day. If you are a fact book lover then you will adore this one!
