This book has some value if you need some quick talking points our if you want to wow others with your random knowledge at a party. Other than that, it's fairly boring. I was expecting a collection of funny facts that would keep me amused for a few hours. Unfortunately, these are just random historical facts. Some were slightly amusing, but most were just there.

I also think the book could have been improved by organizing the facts, either into groups or chronologically. As it is, they are just randomly written down. It makes for choppy reading.

I received this book in a Goodreads Firstreads Giveaway.
