[Cricket Muse · Rating 4 out of 5]

This book is filled with those odd questions that a person thinks about but never bothers to find answers. You know, questions like pondering if penguins have knees come up now and then and the author takes the time and trouble to hunt down the answer.

Witty, informative—makes for a fun waiting room read.

I would say it was an interesting book! and well written..but of course as with many factual book it is not advisable to read in one sitting as it gets boring..
