review 1: The researchers (Elves) from the TV show QI collect some of their favourite facts in their second collection. The book is easy to read and the facts are kept to short lines - they have even added a section on the QI website with more information on each fact and their sources. This idea works great as it makes the book more fun to read, with further information or references available should you want them. Would also recommend listening to their weekly podcast - No Such Thing As A Fish.
review 2: Second volume of the poetry of facts. And it doesn't really matter that much that there are some mild generalizations and... ehmm... some spicing up here and there to make it a touch more sensational - it succeeded again to wake a feeling of childlike wonder of deep in... moreternal hilariousness and beauty of the observed universe. and that's already quite something.it's not a literary product, it's a literal windchime. less
