    • 2/5
      This is a fun little trivia book, but it's not very interesting if you DO remember anything from school. Mental Floss does this kind of thing much better, as they work at finding information you actually might not have heard before.
    • 4/5
      Kenneth Davis has written many books in his "Don't Know Much" series, covering everything from the Bible to the Universe to the Civil War. In all those books, he takes questions about his topic and give clear information, never very deep, but excellent starting points when learning about any new topic. However, in DKMA Anything, he presents a series of mini-quizzes about each topic, giving brief sentence-length answers to each. This might be very entertaining and useful for middle- and high-school aged children and their families. It's also quite amusing to dip into. However, this format precludes reading in large doses or for any real insight into a topic.
    • 4/5
      Good book, with some fascinating and fun information, but the format is more like taking a series of little tests. Consequently I found I had to be flipping back and forth between the pages, which got tiresome.
    • 4/5
      An excellent book for learning some things you may have never heard before. Best read in small doses to avoid "fact overload" and give you time to think over what you've read and possibly do further research on something you'd like to learn even more about.
    • 4/5
      A very fun trivia styled book of facts you feel you should know but still draw blanks. It was fun to learn new pieces of history about everything from presidents to hamburgers. At times I wished the book was more in depth on subjects and the page turning was a little tedious. Overall it was a fun and education read.
