Loved the facts not the narrator
I really enjoyed this and the first book. The narrator on this one was too dramatic for me. He sounded like an 80s movie trailer guy. Good work on this Dan, but consider a different narrator next time.

Not as good as you would think!
How could the performance have been better?
The narrator might be ok for some people but the delivery style was grating on me. I'm not sure how to describe it but I would advise listening to a sample and see if you could stand a good few hours of a book being read like an American version of Jeremy Clarkson winding up a car review....
Any additional comments?
As a book touted as being about 'the worlds most interesting facts' it fails on a number of points:
The largest majority of facts are about the USA and, if you're not American, you probably won't think them that interesting and probably won't understand why anyone would think them interesting, even if they understood the context of the 'fact'.
Given the above, very few of the facts are what I would call interesting, but when you hear repeated "according to Wikipedia" (or other sources such as newspapers) you wonder whether they are even actually 'facts' at all and may question the thoroughness of the research.
Some of the 'facts' are generously seasoned with errors and a book about facts should probably make sure it 'gets it facts right'. Two simple examples (there were many more), the narrator refers to the British fighter aircraft the "Submarine Spitfire". Since (outside the USA) this is probably the second world war's most famous fighter aircraft, no small bit of research would tell you that it is accurately the Supermarine Spitfire (i.e. made by the Supermarine aircraft company). Similarly, the narrator refers to the HMS Titanic - even people in the USA must have heard about this particular vessel it being probably the most famous (infamous?) ship sinking! But it was not a warship (HMS) but a Royal Mail Ship (RMS)... I could go on.
I wish I hadn't wasted my money on this!!
