Summary
Brought to you by Penguin.
The Audiobook of the Year is back, with yet another pro-rogues gallery of the most amazing, audacious and absolutely absurd news of 2019.
Featuring an audio-exclusive bonus chapter and live recordings for the Book of the Year 2019 tour.
Once again the fact-finding foursome behind the podcast No Such Thing as a Fish have been newspaper-trawling and website-crawling to create your ultimate guide to the past 12 months.
Learn which of Donald Trump’s claims are so bizarre they can’t even be fact-checked. Find out why every single French MP received Camembert in the post. And get to the bottom of all the improvements made to the Ford company’s robotic bum. All this and much, much more, including the news that:
- Two tourists planning to visit the Norwegian village of Å, ended up 1,310km away, in Aa.
- Five guys were arrested at a branch of Five Guys.
- Hollyoaks was partly written by the British government.
- The US town of Hell froze over.
From Assange to Zuckerberg, taking in Cardi B, CCTV, D-Day, and eSports, The Book of the Year is the only book you need to make sense of the year, no matter how senseless it might have seemed.

Interesting facts
Interesting facts from three years ago (2019) performed in a humorous way. An excellent book that is still worth listening to now as the information is enlightening, interesting and engaging
