His French accents end up sounding very full of themselves and his American accents are funny to hear. Is that what we sound like to the rest of the world, lol! The book itself…sometimes it’s fascinating and fun, other times I’m spacing out and it’s just a background drone as I drive. Sometimes I rewind, but most of the time I meh-shrug and just keep going.

Up to letter F. Not going to lie, it took me until letter D to realize the author was going through the alphabet with each chapter entry…but this is audio, not print, so I think my Duh moment doesn’t speak too poorly of me. 😅

This is by turns fascinating and boring. The lists being read, even by a clear, understandable British accented voice, still drag.

This book is going to make me unhealthily fixated on encyclopedias now, lol. His passion certainly comes through in the intro.
