Note: I received a digital review copy of this book from the publisher through NetGalley. A quick read that has given me a different view on things I thought I knew. On almost every page, I found I was looking up things on the internet and saying to myself "didn't know that". That includes, their Jelly bean fact. Not a favorite candy and even less so now. I agree with the title. This book was totally not boring!! 3.5 Clever and fun -- nothing like making your own dream come true. This book was a result of a lifetime of sketch books and doodles combined with a love for bizarro information. The combo here works. It's divided into history facts, food facts, animal facts, sleep facts and other clever categories. Most of the info was fresh and unknown to me and he de-bunks a few well-accepted myths (like George Washington's wooden teeth). Some facts were shocking: a cell phone has 18 times more germs than public toilet handles. Ugh. A fun way to spend an hour or so barring the gross-out factor. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
Trivia meets its match. Did you know that Napoleon was once attacked by rabbits? Or that the Mars Rover sang itself "Happy Birthday"? How about the odd ingredient Civil War soldiers used to make coffee? From Jupiter's diamond showers to why pirates wore eye patches to the delightful link between dancing goats and the discovery of coffee, this collection of obscure and fascinating facts is brought to you by Mike Lowery, an illustrator and connoisseur of the offbeat. Featuring four gatefolds and hundreds of infographic webs that connect the trivia in dozens of surprising ways, it's a little book that delivers endless delight.--Provided by Publisher.
