4.0 out of 5 stars Bill Crookes, 28 Jun 2009

By	Bill Crookes - See all my reviews

Firstly the title made me curious I didn't know what to expect. But I found the 100 topics to be just as John Barrow intended. The book comes over with explanations, humour, topicalities and extreme knowledge. Very good for impressing friends at dinner conversations, now I'm a genius like John Barrows.
Though I don't know if I understand it all yet, maybe that makes it 101 Things I didn't know I didn't know. I dont know. Thanks John Barrows!
