VERY INTERESTING AND INFORMATIVE.

This was very easy to listen to and extremely interesting. The facts contained within were excellent. Can wait to listen to the sequel 'Now I know more' . My young son also loved this as his brain is a sponge for facts.

I would imagine there is a lot of work goes into a book like this, and appreciate the authors time and effort to bring this kind of information to people. I hope there will be more in the future. Until then I will subscribe to the daily emails. Big thanks Dan Lewis and to all involved.

Some interesting pieces but largely Americana

What did you like best about Now I Know? What did you like least?

I enjoyed the style of the book and the narration, and there some very interesting pieces of information, but I found the overwhelming bias towards the USA (politics, sport, economy, history, popular culture) quite boring. A lot of the chapters mean nothing to a non American. Now I know, but I didn't want to know in the first place.

Interesting and insightful

A good listen of relatively random facts. useless yet useful facts all read in am engaging style that doesn't get bogged down or repetitive. a worthy listen if you dont really want to concentrate on a story etc.
