Any additional comments?

I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.

I enjoyed this book and the condensed trivia is pretty good. There were a few errors which made me question the rest of the book, and it can get a bit confusing because it skips between years. However, I do really like the questions at the end of each chapter.

The narration was brilliant. Derek Newman had a really dry wit that came through in his narration, and I really liked it.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
