Upbeat and Entertaining

Revisado: 05-04-21

Easy and entertaining read, or in this case, listen.  100 of the worst ideas in history spans a variety of topics from political debacles to scientific ones and everything in between. Thankfully that means there is something for everyone in this book.  From stories I know well like the Pres Clinton and Monica Lewinsky scandal, the Balloon Boy fiasco, or Octomom some of the tales are from the current time and will be known and reminisced by all but the youngest listeners.  Meanwhile other stories are more for my parents or grandparents generation and some go back to the early days of the US or even to ancient Rome for tales of interest that will be new to all but the biggest of history buffs.  This is not a boring audio book that drones on in a monotone voice by any means. It is read by multiple readers in an upbeat, fast paced style.  Accents and voice impressions are used throughout.  I really liked the Bill Clinton impression, it sounded just like him.  There was frequent music of varying styles throughout and other sound effects which were relevant to the story at hand.  All told that really helped keep it entertaining and energetic compared to other audiobooks to which I have listened.  I also liked that all the individual stories were short and easy to follow.  If I zoned out for a few seconds to pay more attention to my driving, I could either continue to follow along or it was just a quick rewind to catch back up.  I would recommend this to anyone who enjoys humor, history, or popular interest stories.
