About this listen

Read by James Buckley a.k.a. unforgettable Jay from The Inbetweeners.

With his trademark brand of bulldozer-banter, Twitter legend James Felton guides you through the most morbidly fascinating facts you'll then wish you could forget.

Ever wondered why the chainsaw was invented?* How authorities dealt with a beached whale back in ye olde days of 1970?** Or what being a human decanter entails?*** Then you've come to the right place!

Here you'll find the maddest, strangest and downright grossest stories from history, nature and science that you don't want to know. (Except secretly you really do you masochistic, beastly person you.) Painfully funny and drop-your-jaw ridiculous, this is trivia from the cesspit of time that you won't be able to stop listening to once you start.

*To aid childbirth.

**They exploded it with 100 times too much dynamite and rained blubber down on unsuspecting people and buildings.

***Decency prevents us from answering this one here. You'll have to buy the book to find out.

The vast range of stories in this book will make you laugh amd wince in equal measure.

The preformance would have been fantastic were it not that the audio has retains some of the narrator's flubs. I assume some of the draft were sticked into the final copy of the work.

The audiobook is, even with this slightl flawed preformance, excellent.

An excellent audiobook with some flaws.
