I wouldn’t exactly call this fun facts. It’s more about different set designs and boring behind the scene information. And that’s coming from a Friends superfan. Just not very interesting to me.

3 stars because this is just page after page of interesting facts, but not something that is going to keep you up at night to excitedly finish. If you really nerd out over the shows you watch and like to learn everything you can about the cast and what went on behind the scenes, I think this book would be worth it to scratch that itch and get your book count up if needed.

Expected more

No doubt there was much research done to author this book. Being an avid fan of the show I was excited to learn some fun facts as the title suggests. Our definition of fun must be very different. I found it mostly dry (like all the relatives of production crew who were extras in each episode - who cares?) - to much repetitive information. Very disappointing.

Favorite Show!

I loved getting a play-by-play, as it were, of each episode! There are so many fun behind-the-scenes in this book! I immediately started watching the show again. I almost want to have this book out and read each episode section as I watch the corresponding episode. Fun! (Albeit a bit repetitive)

Part of me expected it to be largely stuff I already knew with maybe a few new things here and there, but I was pleasantly surprised. There was a lot of new-to-me information in there. I was glued to it for almost two days.
