Crazy Stories to Entertain and Amaze: The Totally Awesome Book by Bill O'Neill

Patty: I did enjoy reading the stories and so did my youngest brother David.
After he read a few, he wasn't interested. So after he left to go home, he left them here, at home.

KidsComeFirst: Good content. A bit of trivia and quirky short stories that they say are true.

Rose: Some of these stories are simply incredible and some are just plain daft. All of them are good though. I know something of the great fire of London and what’s not recorded here and there’s no reason why it should be, is that a lot of people that died in that fire were not important enough to have their deaths recorded. they were mere peasants and not worth bothering about. As for the rest well, I’ve heard it said that some people go at it like rabbits but giving birth to one? I’d like to see a woman do that. anyway, a really interesting read.

Mr C: I don't do book reviews like you keep seeing, as I find that some give too much of the plot away and I personally hate that, as it makes the book not worth reading. I much prefer to take the authors back cover write up as a review as it can either intrigue you enough to read the book of provide you enough information to make you decide that the book is not for you.
My review rules are: The more stars, the more I liked it.
If there are too many typos or errors the less stars I give
If the storyline or plot is poor or contains too many errors, the characters are too weak, the ending lacking something, then the less stars I give.
Simple, uncomplicated and to the point without giving anything away.
Some of the books I read have been given to me by the author as a pre-release copy and this does not bias my reviews in any way

NurseyByNature: This was a fun book. To give you an idea, it's 200ish pages and 64 chapters and each of those chapters is a story, so they are each only a few pages long. This made it ideal for me to read when I only had a bit of time or wasn't sure what (fictional) book I wanted to start next as I could get a few stories read without having to stop in the middle.

I especially liked the ones that were word/phrase based or history based, but that's just because of my interests. There was a wide enough variety that I'm sure most people would find something they found particularly interesting. The quality of the writing was good and the stories overall had almost a chatty tone to them, which made it easy to read and not a dry retelling of facts.

O'Neill's books are available on Kindle Unlimited and are all fact/trivia based. Some of them are too niche for me, but I would read another book by him since I enjoyed this one.
