A great fun book full of lots of useless information. I found this very amusing and loved the fact that it was split up into sections with related silly bits.I intend to buy this to keep on my coffee table for my guests to dip into while I make the coffee!

I really enjoy this kind of book, it is a good way to increase our knowledge of useless information haha, in this book we have tales that almost happened last week at the same time we have others that happened centuries ago, for instance do you know that napoleon wasn't as short as you imagine him to be, yeah, do you want to know why? Just grab a copy and read for yourself.

What I thought it was a difference change from other similar books, was that in the end of each chapter you would get a couple of trivia and their answers about the tales that you just read. Yeah it was a refreshing way to dive into this stories.

Thank you NetGalley and BooksgoSocial for the free ARC and this is my honest opinion.

I live in a trivia fanatic household --- does anyone remember the game TRIVIAL PURSUIT?? People stopped playing with me as I would slay them. (I also loved" The Book of Lists"
......even today w hubby we talk trivia all the time: try getting through an episode of Cold Case with us on the telly without pausing and talking about stuff mentioned on the screen.

That aside, this is a fun little book that can keep your brain ticking and have fun playing games with. Start a sentence with "Did you know that ......" and this fact-filled, fascinating book will keep you entertained for hours. It is also what I would call the perfect "bathroom book" as you can read little bits here and there while you are in there taking a bath or doing your business. Okay..TMI

I loved this book!! I am the kind of person who falls down the wikipedia rabbit hole and just reads a ton of random non-important wiki pages for fun and that’s exactly what reading this book was like! very short and fun stories! I will say I could do without the bonus interrogation and answers at the end of each chapter and after chapter 3 there was a random page about “if you are enjoying this book” I felt it was very out of place and ruined the flow. overall I enjoyed the book! thank you netgalley for the arc!

This was a fun book about crazy and true stories about celebrities, it was written well and I was invested learning these stories. I hadn't heard some of these stories before so it was great to read this. I enjoyed the way Owen Janssen wrote this.

Fun book. Wide variety of topics.
Thanks to author, publisher and Netgalley for the chance to read this. While I got the book for free it had no bearing on the rating I gave it.

Definitely a fun way to learn little things and then go on to look further into something you may have not known about beforehand.

I great book, I would highly recommend, especially for those who loved reading books on useless information as kids, like I did. It’s spilt into different sections dealing with things like historical events, true crime, and urban myths etc. I really enjoyed this book, and would highly recommend to others. It would make a great gift, and is easy to pick up and put down so can be a great coffee table book
