Chock full of stuff that you shoulda learned in school but didn't. I wasn't interested in it at first, but it was recommended to me by a family member and I'm glad it was. Funny And informative.

This is not a "breezy little book of interesting facts" you will have hours of fun reading. It actually assumes you know a great deal more about the items it intends to teach you than you probably do.
I would say it is as much fun as reading a text book, but in truth, it is as much fun as reading 3,684 text books. Yes, that much fun.

This is my favorite book. I am so looking forward to the update. The best way to read this book is to know just a little bit about a subject then use it to fill the gap. It is not detailed but just enough that you get the "gist" of things.
 Too bad. January 23, 2008

Well, I was really looking forward to it, and read a fair portion of the Religion section, but found the tone of it really annoying, not enough depth on the subject, and the author makes too many inside jokes. If you get the jokes, you already know the information and you don't need to read it. If you don't get the jokes, it is leaves you as an outsider and learn nothing.
I'll keep reading it, and amend the review if I have to.
My advice:
Go to Barnes & Noble and take a look (and just to be fair to our host, consider ordering it from here). If you read a section, and enjoy it, buy it. If it is offputting like it was to me, don't.
Fun and informative January 7, 2008

Whether you're searching for specific information or just scanning through, this book is produced so beautifully that it ends up being entertaining and educational. The segments are concise, but you feel as if you have taken a course in the subject. I bought it as a gift for my husband, but the entire family is thoroughly enjoying it!
