Unimpressive Fact Checking

Reviewed in the United States on January 6, 2019

In the first four minutes of looking through the book I found two major errors. Under "KENNEDY's" he states Joseph Kennedy Jr. died in World War I. If so he would have died when he was three. He died in World War II. Under "September 11th" the author states two terrorist highjacked aircraft crashed into the World Trade Center towers and two into fields. Last time I checked one of those aircraft crashed into the Pentagon and not a field. Having been there I remember it all too clearly and have officially escorted many family members of the victims at the Pentagon Memorial. Who edited this thing, …… Washington Post writers? This begs the question; What else in this "Book of Facts" is incredibly wrong?

Interesting but not completely factual - or lacking in more details

Reviewed in the United States on December 26, 2019

Some facts are interesting but I feel they should contain more information. For instance, there was a fact about the largest network of charter schools being run by a Turkish imam. However, it didn’t mention the name of the charter school network or the name of the imam. There were also some facts that are not 100% correct or need more explanation. Such as, an area of Utah called the Jello belt because of how much Mormons love Jello. As a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, I can say that not all Mormons “love” Jello and it is more of a tradition and/or rumor about Mormons and green Jello. It is because Jello was traditionally an easy thing to make for pot lucks and other such get togethers. However, I would not call it an American “fact” in any way even if though there is an area that is nicknamed that.

Gave this as a gift to my teen (who does not like to read) and it was very hard for him to put down because it was so interesting and captivating. :-)

Interesting and easy read

Purchased for a pre-teen on the spectrum. He loves American history but reads at a little lower level, and this book is still simple to read and understand. It has a lot of interesting and quirky facts.

Interesting book, fun to read

Interesting book. A little light on documenting. But, I enjoyed it. For instance, I didn't know that Thanksgiving actually celebrated the ratification of the Constitution, not the pilgrim story I grew up with.

I enjoyed this book. Very simple and has some interesting facts. It's good enough that I'm going to order some of his other books. Trivia Madness sounds interesting. That's my next purchase.
