Author Bill O’Neill has authored many books on Trivia and stands as somewhat of an expert in this field! His topics include movies, football, baseball, wars, rock music, simply random trivia facts and US States. Now with a nod to providing interesting reading material while passing the time at home, Bill offers a cascade of stories that provide not only entertainment but also so educational topics! Providing an overview of the topics of interest in this book, Bill outlines his content in the Introduction – ‘This book will introduce you to some of the strangest facts on the face of the earth. You’ll learn about a Kansas town that people claim is so haunted that many call it the “Gateway to Hell,” as well as an urban myth about a Soviet drilling expedition that may – or may not have – opened a portal to Hell. You’ll learn about historical facts that were more than likely overlooked in your history classes. How Alexander the Great dies, how Cleopatra died, what happened to American Indian leader Sequoya, and the truth about Christopher Columbus’ expedition are just a few of the historical stories you’ll read about…You’ll read about a star that is many times bigger and brighter than our own, what will happen when computers become self-aware, what causes “brain freeze,” and how the government has been actively searching for extraterrestrials.’ And if that tasty intro doesn’t convince you to explore this fascinating book, add in stories about pop culture, sports stories about athletes, and even a few true crime tales to boot. Not only is the book entertaining – it is also very instructive. For those familiar with Bill O’Neill’s talent for tickling the brain, this book is a must read – one of his best. For those who are simply looking for solid entertaining reading to while away the hours, welcome to the field expert! Highly recommended – especially during these times… Grady Harp, March 20

Fact filled book my son loved it!! Excellent bathroom reader inexpensive has good content

I bought this for my son for Christmas but i checked out a few of the stories in the book. It has some interesting stories, also some...what i consider to be odd stories. A lot to chose from

Absolutely LOVE Bill O’Neill books. He is great. I have really enjoyed his books. This book is interesting. I am really glad that the age recommendation for this book begins at 18 years old. Because, although interesting… some stories are deeply disturbing.

There are definitely interesting stories and facts presented in the book. As an adult I enjoyed the variety of odd pieces of information, but it is definitely not a book for children. While the stories were unique and informative, the book was rife with grammar errors, wrong words and misspellings. Also the way the author narrates the stories is a little odd and kind of cheesy. I would say to try to find another trivia type book over this one.

Good

Got this for my dad for Father's Day & he loved it. He's an avid reader but he liked something with short excerpts to read to break it up a little. He said some things he knew already but some were brand new to him. Would highly recommend!

Purchased as a gift. Pleasantly surprised at the quality and thickness of the book. A lot of interesting facts that are only 2-4 pages each. I feel this would be a good “ bathroom reader” book.

Grandchildren loved reading the book

I don't do book reviews like you keep seeing, as I find that some give too much of the plot away and I personally hate that, as it makes the book not worth reading. I much prefer to take the authors back cover write up as a review as it can either intrigue you enough to read the book of provide you enough information to make you decide that the book is not for you. My review rules are: The more stars, the more I liked it. If there are too many typos or errors the less stars I give If the storyline or plot is poor or contains too many errors, the characters are too weak, the ending lacking something, then the less stars I give. Simple, uncomplicated and to the point without giving anything away. Some of the books I read have been given to me by the author as a pre-release copy and this does not bias my reviews in any way
