Leuk boek waarin interessante weetjes heel leuk worden verklaard. Voor de liefhebbers van het programma QI, gepresenteerd door Stephen Fry. Ook de stukjes conversatie tussendoor zijn best wel grappig om te lezen :D.

Always interesting. The little bits at the end of the chapter of the authors having fake, silly conversations were mostly annoying. Easily skipped in a print addition, I was stuck listening to it on audio. Maybe it was the narrator, having him do that didn't seem to fit. The narration of the rest was fine and the actual informational entries were great.

If you like QI, or the QI Elves' own spin-off podcast "No Such Thing as a Fish" then this book will easily keep you entertained, whether you sit down and consume it in one go or choose to dip in and out and sample it in small morsels.

Very similar to the first book. The idea wears thin after a while but was still interesting enough to get me through. I think I'll wait a while before I read the animal edition.

Uma amiga minha costuma dizer, ao falhar do primeiro volume que ele "destrói mundos", pois o segundo continua o trabalho de devastar tudo aquilo que pensamos conhecer.

I love these books. I love how it can twist everything you know and tell you everything you have been taught is wrong to some degree. Who knew that Octopuses actually have two legs and Celtic priests wore horned helmets, not the Vikings. I mean really. This is a brilliant book for people who love facts, and love learning weird things that actually come in handy if you like to counteract what people think they know about everything. There are a bunch more in the QI book series and I implore you all to go find them all and absorb all their knowledgey goodness. Now! Go! Do it!
