Having lived in California I figured I knew and might not find any interesting facts so I was I enjoyed learning new facts about the state. The books reads like a list but does have have quite a few interfering facts. It also has a short quiz after each chapter which I found quite interesting . If you are interested in learning some facts about the state this book will do just that from sports to places. ( )
