I admit - I've always been a nerd lol
I collect trivia and facts like they're coins - so I was utterly excited to come across The Colossal Book of Incredible Facts for Curious Minds. The format appeals to all age groups - kids thru grown up kids ;)
It's in easy to follow sections and if the unknown little minutia that most other overlook - tickles your fancy - THIS absolutely is the book for you!! The Natural World, Entertainment & Food and Drink and my favorite sections - especially loved the Bee facts and the tidbits about coffee!! Thank you to Netgalley for an advanced readers copy of this AMAZING book in exchange for an honest review. I've already ordered a copy for my personal library!

A great reading to be entertained ! The title is well found, as it is effectively a colossal compilation of facts, some are quite known, others absolutely surprising. It is possible to navigate through the center of interests, and it is passionating.
All opinions are mine, thank you to the authors and NetGalley.

I did enjoy this book, very interesting entries,it was a very quick and fun read. I would recommend this as a bathroom book or a book to just pass the time.

Unfortunately, the book downloaded in a truly dreadful fashion - pages combining with each other made the book very difficult to read. Whilst this reflects badly on the book, perhaps a readable download would let me give this a hgher rating than 1 star!

Very fun to read. Read a couple of facts every day. Some are really surprising. Recommend!
Also loved that it was split up in for example science, history or sport. That way it stayed interesting.

Thanks to the publisher and NetGalley for letting me review this book. This book was loaded with fun and interesting facts. You’ll definitely learn something new!

Have enjoyed going through this book. So many interesting facts about many subjects, too many to mention! Thanks to Netgalley for a free copy for my honest review.

This collection of trivia is fascinating. It covers everything from animal life to the universe, making it perfect for leisurely reading or quick breaks. I found myself constantly amazed by the incredible facts. -- every page offers entertainment and enlightenment. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a fun and informative read!"

Oh, I love this book! I was so engrossed, I didn't even realize I had been reading it for a good solid hour. Maybe it's the millennial in me who depended on encarta and textbooks for research because seriously, I just had to validate most entries with my own research (of course, now it's google and wikipedia). That just made it more fun and interesting. This would make a good addition to any library. Highly recommend!

This is such a fun book to go through with my ever-inquisitive children. They've enjoyed all the fun facts and pictures inside the book!

The colossal book of incredible facts for curious minds - the title truly divulges the nature of the book. Filled with hundreds of facts across diverse categories ranging from organisms occurring in nature to human body, from history to literature and from arts to sports, it has it all and more.

This is the kind of the book that belongs in everyone’s library, a fun read you can pick every now and then and learn something amazing. The kind of book that you want to keep going back to.

Rating - 4.7/5

I love facts.
I love learning them.
I love sharing them with others.
I love having more knowledge and especially love ingesting it from books.
Needless to say, I have really enjoyed The Colossal Book of Incredible Facts for Curious Minds.
It's a fantastic book full of information you may already know, but mostly, it has some unique facts that you can wow your friends with, win a quiz with, and just enjoy sharing around the family dinner table.
A fun read for all ages.

This book is a great book of facts for those of us who like random facts. This book is a lot of fun.

Although based on the cover this book promised a captivating journey through incredible facts for young minds, the experience fell short of my expectations.

While the content itself was extensive and somewhat intriguing, the lack of visual aids and repetitive writing made it difficult to stay engaged for extended periods.
It’s a commendable compilation of interesting information, but the presentation could use more variety to hold the reader’s attention.

Thankyou to Octopus Publishing imprint Cassell and Netgalley for the opportunity to read and review this book.

Explanations to everyday subjects, at one time or another that had crossed my mind, were provided. These subjects, some curious others humorous, were divided into many categories from which to choose. While reading through, I found myself thinking, "hmm, I didn't know that."

Due to format issues I personally found this really difficult to read and enjoy.

I know if there were no issues this book would be getting a 4 or 5 star rating as I am a sucker for these types of books.

Hopefully I can get my hands on a physical copy!

I would of given this book give stars but over half of the book was unreadable due to the following reasons.
Firstly I had many random blank pages then I have many pages with Just the odd word of sentence on but the worst part which made most of the book unreadable was the disjointed sentences and paragraphs which were unrelated to another making reading impossible plus the random statement numbers were random thrown into a paragraph.

The statements I could read were interesting and fun but just wish the whole book was like that. I did enjoy the wide range of topics and feels there's something for everyone.
Thanks to net galley for allowing me to review this book.

Thank you to both #NetGalley and Octopus Publishing US/Cassell for providing me a copy of Nigel Henbest et al.’s #trivia tome, The Colossal Book of Incredible Facts for Curious Minds, in exchange for an honest review.

#TheColossalBookofIncredibleFactsforCuriousMinds is the perfect conversation piece for your #coffeetable and can be used as a random #referenceguide. It would also make a great, infinite scrolling blog. Additionally, it could be condensed into a desk calendar for a fact or ten per day, and serve as a fun stocking stuffer for the holidays.

I enjoyed this book. The facts are well-written and concise and cover a vast array of topics. My favourite topics were in the first part of the book, including nature, science, and the human body. But to me, the real test was how fascinating the facts were in topics I was generally not as interested in such as the arts and sports. And indeed these facts were also quite interesting. The only facts that didn’t catch my attention were those for sports where I had no background such as cricket and rugby. Thank you to Netgalley and Cassell for the advance reader copy.

I really enjoy this book. As someone who is looking for ways to reduce their screen time in the evening, this book has become a go-to for me. I appreciate the categories in which the book is broken out and found myself learning all sorts of new facts. I will say that in the Kindle copy, some of the formatting was messed up and I had to skip some sections. Beyond that I really enjoyed this and think it is a great book for all ages.
