This was a fun book to read, and it is exactly what it says it is: A very random compilation of very random facts. I loved the messy sketchbook drawing style. This is not one of those books that you read in one sitting but rather enjoy gradually (as many facts as you want per day, or enough to bother your friends with).

4.5 ☆
So good !
I love everything in this book ! So funny, so interesting !

I loved this book. The illustrations kept my attention, and my four-year-old niece was here as I was reading it and she kept talking about them and asking to read the words out loud so she could understand why the pictures were the way they were. This book for sure kept my attention (I wanted more facts!), the pictures were lovely. It was just a really fun book and I would definitely buy it. 5 out of 5 stars.

An attractive and fun trivia compilation that will have readers reaching for either their own art supplies or another book that will tell them more about an Oregonian fungus being the "largest living organism," Saturn and Jupiter possibly having diamond rain, or the great oceanic Lego accident of 1997.

This is not the first book of interesting facts I have read, but it IS the first book of illustrated interesting facts that I've read. Honestly, the illustrations made the facts that much more fun and interesting. I enjoyed every page of this book thoroughly and am counting down to when it comes out in print so that I can buy a copy for my best friend and a copy for myself. This would be a perfect coffee table book or a book to read/enjoy with children due to all of the fun conversations it could lead to. I hope there's a sequel in the works!

Stars 5/5 (ARC - Release Date Oct 31, 2017 - I was asked to read this book for an honest review) What a fun book to read! Lots of interesting and crazy facts in different categories with awesomely cute illustrations. Reminded me of a handmade scrapbook and I really enjoyed it. It was a very quick read and I have to say I did learn a lot from it. This would make great gifts for everyone. I will recommend this book!

This is a lot of fun. The text and the graphics work very well together.

I love random facts and this did not disappoint. The humorous sketches and quirky sketchbook writing style were fun and engaging. The variety of subjects covered kept me turning the pages until, (oh no, already?!), the end. I thoroughly enjoyed this entertaining read for all ages!

I absolutely adore books like this one. Books which illustrate all the content, and which keeps the reader interested. This book was no exception, and I was looking forward to look on the next page to find another cute drawing.

The random facts were indeed random! They were both funny and interesting, and some of them were also a little scary to be honest. I was very happy to find that most of the facts were unknown to me. I read a lot of books like this because they are so lovely, but then I have to endure a lot of the same content as well. Yes, the book had some "normal/known" facts, but they were not the majority of the book.

The last part were my favorite! I love random knowledge about everyday things.

OH. My. GOD. This book completely captured my heart and has my love. How can a book be so adorable??

What can I say? Dear author, I love this book so much that I plan to read all of your future works. Right now, I just really wish I have a physical copy in my hands and perhaps another on my desk so that I can cut out (cut out, not tear) some pages out of it and stick it to my bedroom wall so that I can see them every day!

With hilarious, amusing facts and cute illustrations that make me want to hug the book to sleep, this book is simply amazing. I rarely have book-hangovers over non-fiction books, but when I finished reading this one, I wished there's a second one, or that it's longer. Without doubt and hesitation, this book is definitely worth collecting/buying, and is one perfect option for a present.

Fun, colorful, and full of wonderful random facts! My only complaint is that it was far too short, hoping additional volumes are in the works. The facts were odd and interesting, the illustrations were creative and entertaining, the whole experience fun and engaging. Highly recommend.

Overall a pretty fun little book. I wish there were sources for some of the more absurd-sounding facts, and sometimes it was difficult to know how to follow the text relative to its position with the images, but other than that it was a fun little gem.

This is a wonderful book for both children and adults. It is full of interesting (or I say "curious, weird, and totally not boring") facts and fun and quirky illustrations. A fun read!

I absolutely like this book, very interesting with a lot of cute illustrations. I learned a lot of new interesting information and trivia from this illustrated book. But this book is too random for my taste.
Thank you Netgalley for this book

This was a fun read, full of interesting facts and colorful pictures. Perfect for putting down and picking up when you have a few extra minutes

A quanto pare Mike Lowery e io condividiamo la passione peri fatti strambi, le anomalie, le curiosità storiche e scientifiche.

Solo che mentre io ho il superpotere di attirare a me le nozioni più stravaganti e ricordarmele, lui da anni le colleziona con metodo, taccuino dopo taccuino, e le illustra per ricordarle meglio: nasce così questa raccolta, a volte esilarante spesso vagamente inquietante, sempre interessante, di stramberie assortite.

Per intenditori. ;)

I enjoyed reading this book. The facts weren't typically ones that I've heard before and get used over and over again. The drawings were cute and accented the facts nicely. However, some of the facts raised more questions than they answered.

This was a fun, colourful and wonderfully used computerized graphics to annotate the odd and amazing facts featured.

The facts range from animals to history, science food and more and trust me they are very random facts I had no idea about at all, even the rabbit facts which were by far my favourite and the animals are so cute too.

It is well designed into sections for each topic yet on some pages my eyes seemed like they were reading through an explosion of text trying to take it all in but still doesn't affect the book in any way, just gets all the desired facts in!

If you like facts, cute designs, are a graphics student or just looking for a fun quick read you should try this book for sure!

Many thanks to the publishers for allowing me to review this book!

This book is what it says on the tin. It is a bunch of illustrated facts, often from one-5 per page. This is not really a book you would sit down and read cover to cover. This is more of a dive in and dive out sort of book, which we used to say was "bathroom reading". You can put it down and pick it up, and don't have to worry about the plot, as there isn't one.

Nothing wrong with that sort of book, and the facts are fun, for the most part, such as how we have more bones when we are born than when we are an adult.



Thanks to Netgalley for making this book available for an honest review.

I loved the cute style of illustrations in this book - simple but interesting! There's a nice assortment of interesting facts presented, organized into different sections (history, etc). I'd heard of quite a few of them before, but most were new which was a pleasant surprise!

I do wish some sort of reference / sourcing had been included at the end of the book though, listing where the author got the information for each fact! As a reader with a library/history background I'm always a bit dubious of accepting information without proper citations.
