A perfectly fine book- you should kind of know what you’re getting, and it delivers well enough. Jacobs is good at selecting what might be interesting to others while bypassing the boring bits, I appreciate that. At the same time, some of the personal asides are a bit off. I really don’t care about his rivalry with Eric, the one-liners get stale, and his (spoiler) reaction to finding out he’s to have a baby boy is just.. ugh, a crude joke that sticks with me (spoiler: he feels the nurse sounds impressed at the size of his unborn baby’s.. manhood. It’s a small detail, obviously, but seriously wtf?). Anyways- but of light reading after some heavy ones for me, so I like the random facts and interest in general knowledge. There are no deeper insights here, there are a few fun excursions (Mensa, who wants to be a millionaire). Overall an interesting read. I do wish he’d been more thorough on his schedule though- how many hours a day? 100 pages, I believe, was the requirement, but did he ever do more or less? Just curious. Still, if you want some select highlights from the EB without actually having to read it- boom, here you are.
