More fun and amusing than enlightening, but hey every book doesn't need to be deep and meaningful. All things considered, it was a book that was able to provide entertainment while also putting up some thought-provoking tidbits from time to time.

It's obvious Henry Bennett is an author and not an accountant. He is definitely not a "numbers"person. The obvious errors include the Puritans not accepting the Christmas holiday because the date wasn't settled on until "400 BC"; a version of the telephone being invented by an Italian designer in the early1800s, almost 150 years before A. G. Bell patented the telephone in 1878; 1000km races are not run in the Commonwealth Games as that is over 620 miles despite what is claimed in the book.
Some of the tales are sloppily written. Some are conspiracy theories. A few make me wonder why they are included at all. Although some of the information is fun and unusual, this book is only Fair overall.

Worth reading 4*
Filled with interesting titbits, which would be useful for trivia lovers and those that are keen to read about historical curiosities and have little memory handles to connect to some historical events. Happy to recommend it.

I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review. I found this book to be very interesting. While I did know some of the facts, there were many more that were new to me.

Entertaining.
A good book for spare moments.
One error though, in the section of the king speaking english. New York City was named New Amsterdam, the ruling house was the House of Orange. Nothing to do with the Conqueror.

Don't bother
Nothing very extrordinary here. A waste of time. Glad it was on Kindle unlimited. Would have been bummed out had I paid for this.
