I FIND THAT IT IS DIFFICULT TO FIND WHAT I AM LOOKING FOR--TYPICALLY ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS I HAVE.I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE AN EASY BOOK TO USE AND I WAS DISAPPOINTED.I THINK THAT A "DUMMY" BOOK WOULD HAVE BEEN A BETTER CHOICE FOR ME.

This book is refreshing. Most books in this genre simply list quirky tidbits, but this book actually explains each one in an interesting way. It is nice to read the context and learn how each fact came to be. Also, each explanation is short and sweet, about a page or two, so you can read in short bursts if you want or sit for hours learning new factoids. Each fact also ties into the next in some way, which keeps the book fluid. Would recommend to others who like learning obscure facts and history of those facts.
