The author, The Daily Show's "Resident Expert", minor television celebrity, and deranged millionaire, brings us the third and final installment in his trilogy of Complete World Knowledge. In 2005, The Areas of My Expertise, a handy little book of Complete World Knowledge was published, marked by the distinction that all of the fascinating trivia and amazing true facts were completely made up by its author. At the time, he was merely a former literary agent and occasional scribbler of fake trivia. In short: a nobody. But during an interview on The Daily Show with Jon Stewart, an incredible transformation occurred. He became a famous minor television personality. You may ask: During his whirlwind tornado ride through the high ether of minor fame and outrageous fortune, did John Hodgman forget how to write books of fake trivia? The answer is: Yes. Briefly. But soon, he remembered! And so he returned, crashing his Kansas farmhouse down upon the wicked witch of ignorance with More Information Than You Require, a New York Times bestseller containing even more mesmerizing and essential fake trivia, including seven hundred mole-man names (and their occupations). And now he completes his vision with this new work, the last book in a trilogy of Complete World Knowledge. Like its predecessors, it compiles incredibly handy made-up facts into brief articles, overlong lists, and beguiling narratives on new and familiar themes. It picks up exactly where More Information left off,specifically, at page 596, and finally completes Complete World Knowledge, just in time for the return of Quetzalcoatl and the end of human history in 2012.… (mais)

I hate to bring down the star count on this book, which began to redeem itself toward the end. I just found it by and large too frivolous, and I wanted better from a smart, funny guy like Hodgman (I probably came to the book with the wrong expectations, not having read his earlier work, and expecting something capital-W Worthwhile through and through). My full review here. ( )

Complete compendium of world knowledge. What more do you want?
Not the best of the series, but still better than almost every thing else (in the false-encyclopedia category). Worth it for the reverse dust jacket photo alone. ( )

I couldn't finish the book. I've enjoyed John Hodgman's wit in his podcasts, on The Daily Show, when he guested on Wait Wait Don't Tell Me! (NPR). I could hear his voice as I was reading. But I just couldn't finish the book. John, its not you - its me. I just wanted something different that day. ( )

John Hodgman is a funny man, but it didn't translate to this book. He also likes to use words in all caps frequently (several on each page). I suppose this is to try and make some kind of punch line or joke, but I found it exceedingly frustrating. ( )

Much in the same vein of his previous books of fake facts. ( )
