This book packs a lot of information in a few pages. A few of the statements presented as facts are likely not true, but all are interesting, and may entice readers to do further research into the shipwreck. The audio reader will certainly get your attention, and his enthusiasm for what he is narrating rivals any announcer I’ve ever heard. You have to hear it to believe it!
Certainly a quick and easy read. It was hard to ignore the grammatical and spelling errors though, and a bit strange to find several of them throughout the book.

101 Amazing Facts
by Jack Goldstein
Oh wow, was this a cool read. It is exactly what the title says.
There are some really fun and interesting facts and trivia in this book. My favorite is the one I used as my quote above and just about melted my heart. I love Sea Otters. I mean..are they cute or what? It must be so nice to be a sea otter.Falling asleep, while holding hands in the water..so cool.
Here are a few other gems:
Mosquitoes, for some unknown reason, prefer to bite children over adults. And blondes over brunettes. Yikes!!
The show "Friends" was originally going to possibly have a different title. Some of the runner ups included: Insomnia Café or Once upon a Time in the West Village.
There is a real condition called the Paris syndrome and symptoms include depression and nausea due to people realizing that the city isn’t as beautiful as they previously thought it would be I am not making this up.
The first time Led Zeppelin played "Stairway to Heaven" the audience got bored and booed them, demanding to hear something that they(the audience) were familiar with.
There is so much more. It's a fun book and covers facts from music and film, to wars and royalty to current events. Very enjoyable read and highly recommended.… (more)
