Grady HarpTop Contributor: Children''s Books5.0 out of 5 starsVerified Purchase ‘Marriage ceremonies were generally absent in the ancient world’ – Fun and odd facts!

See more New author Jordan Moore steps onto the Trivia stage with a nod to providing interesting reading material while passing the time at home, In this easy to read (and absorb) book, Jordan offers a cascade of facts that provide not only entertainment but also so educational topics!

Providing an overview of the topics of interest in this book, Jordan outlines his content in the Introduction – ‘As the title indicates, this book takes you on a fun-filled odyssey through just about every nook and cranny of this planet, and far beyond, to bring you 1,572 factoids that will make you scratch your head and give you some fodder to impress your friends and family at your next gathering…Maybe you’ve wondered how some seemingly unmedical things, such as alligator dung, became medical prescriptions. Or perhaps you’ve wondered how marriage became the institution it is today. And maybe you’ve considered how crypto currency began, or how it works…’ And if that tasty intro doesn’t convince you to explore this fascinating book, add in facts about pop culture, sports facts about athletes, strange hobbies, meteorological facts, and even a few facts about weapons of war

Not only is the book entertaining – it is also very instructive. Jordan presents his facts in categories, each fact is short in length and offers a check box to let you know you’ve absorbed that one, and moves along at a pace that is entirely up to each reader. For those who are simply looking for solid entertaining reading to while away the hours, welcome to a field expert! Highly recommended – especially during these times… Grady Harp, July 22

Usually don''t get books like this because the Virgo in me already knows everything. BUT... my 13-year-old won''t let me read this! So she wants me to say "My favorite chapters are ''Plagued Corpses'' and ''For All You Cat Lovers;'' and..." she kept going but you get the point.
Really appreciate the organized chapters and categories.

I am totally dumbfounded why the need for facts about heroine, cocaine and genocide including serial killer mentions are in this book!! I have an 11 year old son who has an inquisitive mind asking me questions on what this all meant. One I was never prepared for that and 2 who the hell puts facts like that in a KIDS BOOK?!!! I’d advise a re run through targeted audiences and a warning label on why is included in the content!!! 30 people found this helpful Report C.

The cover is curling and dog eared and all I''ve done is get it out of the box and have a skim through. The lay out is boring. No colour, no variation to the format throughout, although there are chapters. Just lots and lots of bullet points. Proofreading hasn''t been up to scratch as I found a basic error within 5 minutes. The content isn''t really suitable for children with references to drugs, urban myths and crimes. It is America-centric, so there are cultural references about old TV shows not broadcast in the UK, crimes famous the other side of the pond, plus the usual about elementary school, jocks etc. That''s not a problem, just something to be aware of. I thought it might be a nice alternative to Ripley''s Believe It Or Not for my youngest child, but no, I''ll probably have a read then pass it to my dad instead. 23 people found this helpful Report Mrs SW1.0 out of 5 starsVerified Purchase Not suitable for children Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on September 7, 2022 Self published book no pictures or illustrations. facts are not suitable for children (Illegal drugs and crime etc).
