3.5

[Karen · Rating 2 out of 5]

Too unreliable, not an assortment of interesting facts as I'd hoped

[Mike Rymarz · Rating 5 out of 5]

Excellent. Thoroughly enjoyable and eye-opening

[Ben Baker · Rating 4 out of 5]

A perfect toilet book which Ive dipped into for fun facts the past few months. None of the smugness that can come with QI products and some very funny inserts from Graeme Garden. (True)
