I want to start by saying the rating isn’t a reflection of the history. That part of this book was actually super interesting and educational. The rating is because of the dudebro who collected and scripted it all. This man’s jokes were straight out of a grungy beginners night at a d-grade comedy club. While a lot of the history centered around women, he somehow still found a way to be ungodly amounts of sexist, covering himself with “but what a baddie” each time. I don’t even want to get into his weird obsession with Elsa from Frozen. But I should have expected this coming from a man who coined the name “the Captain”.

This was a book of 111 random facts about historic people. If you would like that, and also like snarky attitude, this book is probably for you.

Expecting more in-depth writing on lesser known historical events. Instead, it read just like a tic-tok video transcription

Hilarious! So out of my comfort zone but I was swayed by the swear word!
I do like history, but generally not my first reading choice. This was so funny! Lots of little stories from history that are not always essential to big moments but certainly the sort of trivia that might help at a pub quiz!

4.5/5…Great. Repeatable 2 page mini-bio structure, coming with a big punch at beginning and end. Leans heavily towards girl-power, which I can stan.
If “The Captain” taught me in high school I would have hated it a lot less. Mary Toft also needs to be a part of every curriculum.
