Sent this to my kid in college
who never reads books on paper.....and he loved it....he'd pick it up when school work became overwhelming and he was tired of the laptop. These facts are really well-written.

Perfect for Quick Consumption
The perfect book to pick up when you have just a few minutes to read - short stories that are interesting and informative.

Nice escapist read
I bought the book because I needed a quick read. It is indeed an easy read and fail interesting but i didn't tell me anything I didn't already know from other reading and more detailed evaluations. A good read if one is looking for escape.

This book is filled with a lot of fun facts and a nice bit of detail beyond each of those facts. This helps makes those facts stand out a bit more in your mind. It is also nice that the Lewis tried to keep it where each fact related to the next one in some way. While, I will not read the book again. I did get it on audio book and plan to listen to it during my drive to and from work. I would highly recommend this book for anyone who likes to learn random trivia.

Fascinating!
The only bad thing about this book is knowing that it will eventually end! If you're a subscriber to the daily "Now I Know" emails, then you'll enjoy this book. If not, then imagine little tidbits of history, science, etc., all wrapped up nicely in several paragraphs that take a minute or two to read! That's what this book consists of and that's what the emails are.If nothing else, become a a subscriber to the emails (nowiknow.com) and trust me you'll want more than just column a day!

TRUE STORY: IF YOU GLOW BLUE, YOU SURVIVE
TRUE STORY: IF YOU GLOW BLUE, YOU SURVIVESeriously, did you know that wounded Civil War soldiers lying in the battlefield who had an eerie blue glow stood a better chance of survival?I should make you buy the book to find the explanation, but I won't.You SHOULD buy the book because there's an interesting (short) story with every turn of the page.And those soldiers? The blue glow came from a bioluminescent microbe that produced toxins which held off infection of the soldiers' wounds.

Recommended!
Bought the first book for my father and this one for myself. I haven't read it yet since I just received it, I do however, enjoy Mr. Lewis' daily newsletters, which essentially is what this book is composed of.I know this will be a great reading! Composed of numerous interesting stories with interesting facts, I learn something new every time I read one of Dan's stories! Perfect for someone like me who doesn't have much time to read especially for long periods of time.
