Grown Adult Listened

I am a 29 year-old adult and am not ashamed to say that I listened to this entire book in my car by myself, despite the fact that it’s meant for children. There is so much info in here, along with hilarious side quips from Ken, that I honestly think it is a disservice to market this book exclusively toward children. I am training for Jeopardy and found this extremely helpful. As a kid, I think a lot of it may have gone over my head.

There is one singular flaw in the audiobook that is the fault of the producer, and not Ken. Toward the end, there is a quiz section in which Ken reads multiple choice questions, and then tells you the answer after a short pause. There is one question about the war during which the White House was badly burned, after which, Ken goes right into the next question. They either forgot to record him answering it, or they forgot to put the answer recording in.

Overall, great book. Highly recommend.
