Useless facts

What disappointed you about Now I Know More?

These are useless, irrelevant and unimportant bunch of facts, put together in a book. Maybe 2 or 3 things was of any importance, but clearly not worth to waste 7 hours of life

Has Now I Know More turned you off from other books in this genre?

most certainly. now i would want to know more about what is in the book, before buying anything. it is not even the cost, but the amount of time i spent to find out anything new or interesting. in the age of internet, none of this is irrelevant. a lot of citations of wikipedia, why not go direct and find out exactly what is of interest, instead of listening so many hours?

Who would you have cast as narrator instead of Anthony Haden Salerno?

doesn't matter, it is more about the content.

too general

Revisado: 10-25-13

What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you?

if it was more applicable for an individual

What do you think your next listen will be?

something i can use

You didn’t love this book... but did it have any redeeming qualities?

it describes the issue quite quickly, the rest of it was general. especially, when it discusses very US specific issues, it is quite boring for an international reader...

more background

Revisado: 10-25-13

Would you try another book from John Emsley and/or Kevin Scollin?

maybe

What was most disappointing about John Emsley’s story?

it is an encyclopedic listing of elements. what would be more helpful is if some of the terms, such as radioactivity, atom numbers and weights, etc. e.g. more of chemistry was introduced in the beginning, which would make a lot of cryptic text easier to understand. nowadays, you can type the element into wikipedia and it actually gives even more info than this book. putting the info in a context would have made it more useful. more of a chemistry textbook for adults.

Which character – as performed by Kevin Scollin – was your favorite?

there is no character, it is a science book
