Wikipedia?

This was fascinating and seems to be well researched, but that being said, Wikipedia is cited in this book so often, and I find it to be very strange. We’re not even allowed to cite Wikipedia in college or high school papers, so why are they a book? I don’t know.

If you like random facts...

Most of the stories are quite interesting, but it's all very random. Some stories are just lame and without any surprising answer, such as why McDonald's doesn't sell hot dogs.

Meh, it was mildly interesting.

Boring listen. It did help me fall asleep. So I guess you can say I got something out of it.

Good pace

I like the brevity of time devoted to each account. Good pace.

Some of the accounts were dull.

Would have preferred to leave out accounts with stories based less in fact.

Nightstand Book

"Now I Know" is more like a coffee table book where you you just pick up and read to entertain your guests. You wouldn't want to read this book straight through like a novel because there is really no point. It's more like a trivia book with facts. Maybe keep it on your nightstand and read a page or two before going to bed and reading it out loud to your spouse to just to annoy them. Like fan death in Korea.
