Listeners of Radio 4’s popular and very funny panel show The Unbelievable Truth will already be familiar with the concept of trying to sneak unlikely truths past the opposition, but the idea also works well in book form … amazing facts … Huge fun and great for storing up information to make you seem more knowledgeable than you really are.

Daily Mail
