There were a lot of interesting facts in this pocketsize book. It's written in a lively, question and answer format. I can't rate this any higher than 3 stars for a couple of reasons. First, I found a few errors in it. Example: The book states that pigs are the only non-human animals that can sunburn. That is incorrect. Any animal whose skin is exposed to the sun too long will experience "sunburn." The other thing that I did not like about the book is that one third of the book is on sports trivia. If you are looking for sports trivia then you may consider this be a plus. I didn't. The cover of the book would leave you to believe that it is a general trivia book that focuses on many areas. If I wanted a sport trivia book, I would have bought one. Other than these few negatives, it's not a bad book.

I found this book to be one of the better entries in the trivia class. It is well written, contains interesting facts, and is well researched. It was certainly worth the asking price. It is a nice addition to my trivia library. So why can't I say wow? Well, like most trivia books, it contains all the right things, and is put in the right tense and definition, but is laking that something extra to make it a great book and a work of art and treasure.

It's easy to read, compact, easy to carry around or while traveling.

Are you kidding me?: "The only all-female army in history to exist" and "The only breed of cat born without a tail?" ....

This is THE best book of this type I've ever bought!

Highly recommended!
