review 1: I’ve become quite interested in factual books as of late and the second book of general ignorance is perfect to fill my need. Facts are something that has always interested me and can be used in almost any situation. Say you’re at a party for instance and the party just isn’t in swing mode but rather like an old people’s home? Throw a fact into the air, that’ll get people talking or just have people looking at you weird while secretly making mental notes to avoid you for the rest of the night. The Q.I book is a great book and filled with loads of facts about anything and everything. There isn’t an order but that’s ok because it’s interesting to read random fact after random fact. I can’t say that I read every single fact within the book; I just read the o... morenes that caught my attention. I’m glad I read this book because there is so much I thought I was led to believe was right but actually is completely wrong. There is an exception to one fact that I knew was right, I always knew too much water was bad for you.It’s a great book to come back to every now and then which is why has taken me so long to read it. I probably would have gotten really bored if I had read it like I would a fiction book. Read Q.I and discover for yourself the interesting facts within these pages.
review 2: What can you say about a reference book? A lot if it's compiled by the same people that bring you a BBC show called QI.A lot if not all of the information is culled from the show and presented in the same humorous way.The presentation is kind of scattershot so it's not good for looking up things alphabetically but I'm pretty sure most of the book will stay with you.What a fun way to learn! less
