This book i class as a toilet book a book to read in the loo or bath for the whole family.

A great range of topics and interesting facts that you never knew until you read this.

Thank you to Netgalley for a copy for an honest review

I loved this book! The idea that someone pulled all this questions together and found answers to them is amazing!

This is a fun read for the entire family! It was thoroughly enjoyed!

Another book Sophie enjoyed this month was Do Geese Get Goosebumps? This is one of those “fun facts” books that pop up in bookstores during the holidays and attempt to answer dozens of interesting questions on a wide and varied selection of subjects. Do Geese Get Goosebumps? answers 199 such questions, but it was the depth of the answers and choice of the subjects that really helped to keep Sophie’s interest.

The book contained a number of questions on subjects very relevant to life in 2017. A whole section on politics is included, with questions including: How come U.S. legislators and Supreme Court justices can serve indefinitely, but the president only gets two terms? What exactly is the Electoral College, and how does it work? And, What exactly is a filibuster and how did it come to be? The answers all used up-to-date facts and anecdotes in their answers, in fact, the answer on filibusters mentioned the epic 2013 filibuster by Texas state senator Wendy Davis.

There were a lot of less serious yet still interesting questions to be found as well. Some of Sophie’s favorites included: Why are ghosts depicted as a white sheet? Can sinkholes form anywhere and could one form under you right now? Why do we eat popcorn in movie theaters? Why were there moons on outhouse doors? Why are no adults shown in the Peanuts comic strips? And, how is “Peggy” short for “Margaret”?

If you’re looking for a bunch of interesting facts to drop into your conversations over the next year, or some well-explained, simple yet precise answers to pressing questions, then this very well suit your needs.

Answering questions you will never think of (because many are taken for granted), the book employs a joyful mix of humor and solemness. Yes, including the one in the title.
I particularly love the "questions with no answers" sections as you can't help but nod with them!

This has to be the funniest book I have read this year (so far). It contains over 199 random questions that we have all thought about at one point in time or the other.

Favourite questions:
1. Did you ever notice that people who say they don’t care what other people think are usually desperate to have people think they don’t care what people think?

2. Why are so many people afraid of clowns?

3. Why are organic food products more expensive?

4. Why are basketballs orange?

5. What do you call a male midwife?

Favourite quote: “Ironically, the Kellogg brothers were staunch vegetarians, but their name comes from a medieval English surname for a butcher; it literally meant ‘kill hog’”. Lol.

Rating: 5/5

Recommendation: If you are looking for a serious but not so serious book to learn from, keep you entertained and laugh out loud, this book is for you. I randomly burst out laughing on my commute to and fro work.

Not that exciting of a book unfortunately but sounded good in its premise
