My Review: (Vague Spoilers)
I have a particularly fondness for random, useless knowledge and a recent trend of requesting these little illustrated books on Netgalley as I’ve been enjoying them. This one doesn’t disappointment.
The facts in this book are a good mix of “things I know but were nice to see because they aren’t all that common knowledge” “really really irrelevant things I didn’t ever need to know” “things I’ve never heard of that were really fascinating that I wish were elaborated on”.
This is a short, quick read. The illustrations are captivating and very well done. The facts short, and so the point, and without extra embellishment – something that others may prefer but I found irritating in certain instances.
I did overall enjoy getting to read this book though.
