It's okay
If you really have nothing else to read then this book will pass a few hours. I suspect many 'facts' books are like this one, so it's probably brilliant if you love that sort of thing.

leaving 5 stars so the algorithm recommends similar.
a good book to have on in the background as you can dip in and out when you like. each fact is about 2 mins long and different chapters so very easy to jump around

Fun little fact book
Books like this, when done in a way that is accessible to all peoples' of any (provided you can read) level of intelligence, are an absolutely delightful palette cleanser in between those big, bulky, 1000 page novels that seem so popular these days.
I practically inhaled this. The audio book is only 5hrs long, but I listened to that over the course of a single day and was a tad disappointed there wasn't more nuggets of information to be had after the final chapter.
It has a wide variety of serious and light-hearted topics ranging from 'What causes Parkinson's disease?' to 'Why do Geese fly in a V-Formation?' to the titular 'Can Holding in a Fart kill You?' (I don't do spoilers, so I shan't tell you if it does or not).
Each topic is discussed at a length of about a page or so, never making the reader feel like they're sifting through word-count padding or unnecessary information repeated in three different ways in order to make the author sound 'more intelligent'. Andrew gives a very succinct, perfectly-depthed (not really a word, but if Shakespeare can add words to the English language, so can I) answer to each question posed.
There are two ways to enjoy this book; one is how I did it: all at once. The other is to have it on your bedside table so you can learn something new and interesting before bed every night. Well, there are probably more ways, but those are two I'd opt for.
The narration was great in this one. Wonderful job from Brian Holden
The TLDR of this short review is that it's a very fun book and you should probably read it if you have the slightest leaning towards interesting facts and answers to curious questions

Absolutely terrible
Sounded interesting however is absolutely terrible and includes validation of pseudoscience as part of the narrative. Avoid
