Disappointing

I love random short stories and tales so thought this book would be perfect based on the title, but it was highly disappointing. Some of the stories were also a bit inappropriate.

Great if you’re American

Weird and largely irrelevant for uk listeners imo. Too short and meanders around utter trite. Sorry

Literally every word spoken

Incredibly annoyed that I had to suffer 5 minutes of the narrator reading all of the chapter titles and copyright disclaimer before the book even started.
As for the content, it's really not that interesting and the facts aren't a revelation.
