Well I didn't know that...
I loved the book but it dropped a star for me because when listening through headphones I found it annoying that the two narrators spoke at different volumes.

Fascinating facts!
Things I thought I knew but didn't. A brilliant cornucopia of abstruse facts loosely linked together. Enjoy!

Well narrated bag of facts
Well narrated bag of facts. I just wish it would have been much longer than it was.

Coffee Table Book
This is the kind of book I'd hope to have on my coffee table for people to dip into and learn, or unlearn, something new. Really enjoyed the facts and figures this book holds. I think I personally would prefer just one narrator, but that's just my preference.

Excellent book full of amazing facts
Firstly, I liked the way the book swapped between narrators. It was done very well and I enjoyed both narrators. The book is full of interesting facts which correct many, long held misconceptions. I had heard a few before, but a lot of the facts were new to me and I spent a lot of the time saying 'really?', when I was listening to the book. Thoroughly enjoyable and good to dip in and out of because of the way the sections are set up in the book. Good for me and my (short) 20 minute drive to work. Will be looking to see if there are any other books from QI, as I really liked this one.

A tempting pot pourri
Listening to this miscellany is a guilty fridge fest of sugar and fat with little advantage for the brain other than pure entertainment and distraction from the milleu

full of randomness
4000 species of frogs making all sort of noise and we're stuck with a sound of a Hollywood frog 🐸 everywhere ;)

A Must!!
A great Listen, it captured my thought process.
I will be going back through this as so much information to retain in one go, but you want to
know what comes next. Enjoy as I did.

Fascinating
Apparently QI stands for quite interesting. They will need some new initials for this book as it is a lot more than just quite interesting!!
