Interesting and Frustrating!
Review date: 2010-01-11 Rating: 8 out of 10
I didn't fully read this book as it made a fantastic present to a know-it-all type. But what I did flick through, it is a enjoyable read with loads of quirky useless facts. Some of which you would find frustrating i.e. that Henry VIII only technically had 4 wives on the issue of consummation! Good fun book.

General Ignorance
Review date: 2009-08-31 Rating: 10 out of 10
What a truly wonderful book! At first I thought it would be one of those books that I would just pick up occasionaly to look something up. However, once I'd opened the book and read the first couple of pages I found I couldn't put it down. I've never been the sort of person who enjoyed factual books but this is different, it's a real eye opener. I was amazed at all the things I never knew. Almost everything I thought I knew as wrong. If you like the program 'QI' then this is the book for you and, if you like this book, I would highly recommend 'The book of Animal Ignorance'.

An original approach to dispel inaccurate knowledge, this book is a MUST read. The beauty of it is that it is written in short "Factules", so you don't have to read it all in one sitting. Easy to just "Dip into" when you feel like it.
