This book makes you think, wow that is interesting–or wow I didn’t know that. BUT I found it INTERESTING how the book talks about how humans did not come from monkeys, no no. We actually come from an ancestor “that has not been found yet” but “descended from squirrel-like tree-shews. ” First of all, macro-evolution has NOT been proved. Micro evolution has, but not macro. I was very disappointed when I read this section, having read several sections before it, filling my brain with possible non-facts. However, the book presents all of its information as truth and fact, just not widely known. That is why it’s name is The Book of General Ignorance: Everything You Think You Know is Wrong. However, I do not think we are so ignorant, nor do I think authors should present groundless information as if it were fact. That section is just one example and in my opinion it automatically makes me question the entire book’s validity.
Rating: 1 / 5
Lots of tongue in cheek pap about a lot of subjects you never had questions about before. Fun diatribe.
Rating: 3 / 5
You will enjoy this book in your commute or at night. It is extremely nice to read and it will become a bestseller in a couple of weeks.
Rating: 5 / 5
Full of fun facts but unfortuneately arranged in a way that makes the information very difficult to use. For example, in the space of a few pages the authors jump from a definition of the height of mountains to the origins of the term “french toast”. Very strange in my opinion.
Rating: 2 / 5
I really expected this book to be much more entertaining than it actually is. Maybe it’s the way it’s put together, I’m not sure. It
s basically just a boring list of facts that you may or may not have known. BORING!
