It is the best book I ever read .This book is suitable for ages from 12 onwards. (10/10)

This book is fantastic! It is jam-packed full of interesting and weird facts about nearly everything in the world. For example, I learned that the first predication of an eclipse of the sun was in 585BC. Russell Ash has done a brilliant job with this book; he has also authored many other books mostly relating to facts. The book is organised into sections e.g. world history, conflicts and crime, building and structures, language and literature, music, sports, so you can go straight to a topic you are interested in. So if you are interested in learning weird and amazing facts about the world then this book is for you. Whitakers World of Facts does have advanced vocabulary so I would recommend this book for ages 10+. I rate it a 9 out of 10. (Sam Davies)
