My daughter LOVES this book
My 8-year-old daughter has literally memorized this book. I think what's so engaging are the quirky facts and the way they're presented. She has now asked me to get her any books I come across by Kenneth Davis. What more can you ask for: a book that is so educational but one that kids will read over and over, all of their own initiative.

"Don't Know Much About..." Series is Excellent!
I've read all of the books in the "Don't Know Much About.." series. If you're interested in getting a rather thorough overview without becoming an expert, these books are for you. They are so easy to read, that I couldn't but them down.

Don't Know Much About the Bible: Everything You Need to Know About the Good Book but Never Learned

Outstanding review and narrative on the bible
This is a very good read, full of amazing facts that many Christians are simply unaware of. For example, there are TWO versions of Creation in Genesis, not one. For example, Jesus never met St Paul; he died before Paul's conversion. For example, Jesus had 3 brothers and a sister. He had an Uncle Cleopas. For example, Jesus did not ride a dinosaur around Galilee; dinosaurs are not ...

If Alex Trebek Wrote a Book
I have read all of Mr. Davis' other (adult) books except Don't Know Much About the Civil War. Don't Know Much About Anything is written in a different format than his others. It is more of a Trivia book, tackling a wide range of topics in quiz-like form. Topics include Famous People, Historic Happenings, Food, Sports and Entertainment. Subjects include Mother Theresa, The Nuremburg Trials, ...

INTERESTING! OPENS YOUR EYES TO THE OTHER LITTLE KNOWN FACTS ABOUT OUT PLANET
I bought this book mainly just to fine-tune (and enhance a little bit) my knowledge about our planet. I love to watch documentary films about nature and how it works. This book is a kind of supplement to watching those films and will give you some insights of a lot of the things you know about the earth and some of the things you thought you know about the earth. It is a good book to introduce to ...

Books On Tape, 1999

By the vastly amusing author of Don't Know Much About History and Don't Know Much About Geography, this fresh look at America's greatest conflict will dispel all those misconceptions you acquired by watching "Gone With the Wind". Davis has a genius for bringing history to life, sorting out the players, the politics and the key events -- Harpers Ferry, Shiloh, Gettysburg, Emancipation, Reconstruction -- in a way that will enlighten even the most ...

We're adults and we couldn't stop reading it!
My husband, who is from Japan, reads only 4x4 magazines and Japanese comics, yet, he read this book from start to finish. The book is written for kids 8-12, but I found it very entertaining and well written. This would be great for a kid who is interested in science (or even, not interested... it may spur their interest). For example, a couple of the topics are "True or False: Astronauts grow ...

Well this is my first review and I will say the audio version (I also have the book) is fantastic. If you are looking for an easy way to brush-up or familiarize yourself with history, this will do it. The "reader" is great, the "other readers" are, as noted in a previous review, well ... lacking. Pretty much everyone from Columbus to JFK to MLK sound like an odd cross between Thurston Howell ...

Any space buff will have fun with this book.
My six year old and 11 year old fact nuts sat spellbound for an hour and a half as I read this book with them, and it kept my interest as well. The fun but factual text is interspersed with cute cartoons that my six year old enjoyed, and which helped fix certain ideas in all of our memories. The only drawback...they wouldn't let me stop reading it! I can't wait to try out Don't Know Much ...

Sufficient knowledge for most
This book is a good value for its cost. It covers myths from all parts of the world and It is good both for reading from cover to cover and for infrequent browsing. In about 500 pages, myths are told only in a concise manner, and are discussed briefly from several aspects by asking questions and providing some more details within answers. It gives general information about the time period and ...

Don't Know Much About World Myths (Don't Know Much About)

Good Companion Book for More Complete Text
In my college survey course of world mythology, I use Davis' "Don't Know Much About World Myths" as a companion book to the excellent "World Mythology: The Illustrated Guide" by Roy Willis. Davis' short book (144 pages) obviously shouldn't substitute for a more comprehensive reading of world myths, but it is very helpful for seeing the big picture. It also correlates well with the topics and ...
