Don't Know Much About Anything (Abridged): Everything You Need to Know But Never Learned About People, Places, Events, And More! Audiobook

" A trivia book written in a "Question-Answer" format. Some questions were impossible to answer (at least for number challenged me), ie the population of a place, the distance between here and there. Some questions were asked twice! A sloppy piece of work. "

" Love this book! I learn something new each time I pick it up and read an entry. "

" Fun! Book of quizzes about a variety of topics, i.e.: Houdini; Vietnam; Salem Witch Trials; Playboy. Lots of fun when on a long trip. "

" I love this series of books but this one was kind of a let down with the layout and style. Rather than a page about the person or place or event, it's a blurb and then the answers to just four or five brief questions. "

" I liked the idea of quick blurbs about historical topics and people (plus much more), but I don't love the quiz questions. I think a more direct summary on each topic would be more interesting to me. I'm very thankful to be finished with this book....kind of painful. "

" The simplest way to learn things that was impossible for me to learn in school. "

" not much to it, but it is somewhat interesting. Hoping my grandson will like it. "

" A bunch of facts about famous people, places, and things that you'll never use but fun to read about anyway. "

" This is a must for history buffs. "

" He knows everything! So much to learn, and very interesting stuff. "

" It's not his fault I don't like this book, anything that calls edison brilliant without even mentioning Tesla has failed for me. "

" This book is a great concept to learn basic history and entertainment milestones that I would relate to being top "trivia" type questions. For me it was a good refresher for some key historic facts that you just forget over the years. "

" I skipped the sports section, interesting/great informations, but too much dates and history ;/ "

" Not for me. I listened to it in the car... I found the kid's voice that asked the questions to grow annoying and after having read first family, I much rather learn about history in less of a fast food way. With that said it could be great for someone else.... "

" It's kind of nice...kind of. "

" Davis is clearly knowledgeable, but his writing style us awkward, distracting the reader from the interesting tale of American history. "

" this book will open eye to the true not the novel you being reading at school.<br/>you will see the multicultural this nation is,what it represent. "

" This is a good book for people who know nothing about history. "

" Read the entire book for Growth of America Class. It had a few interesting takes on history, but all in all, i found it to be vague and rather droll. "

" 11/23/10 Nothing special, but not bad for a quick review. 2.5 "

" Nice little refresher on American History. "

" Pretty good. I don't think it would have been as interesting if I'd read it instead of listening on audio ()car book, 10 min a day "

" It sounded so good from the cover -- it was going to be humorous, witty and contain little known and interesting facts about US history. It was a good review of the history of our nation but I was a bit disappointed. "
