My answer is a big "NO". I love watching the show and I can't believe I already forgotten most of the things I learned in my primary school. Acute Memory gap and I can't accept that fact of the matter so I bought this book.
Upon reading through, the more I realized that really... I really really don't know anymore about histories, greatest invention. I was even shocked that bubble gum was one of the greatest invention in the history and Vatican City is a country (smallest country indeed). Ask me about computer and I might know the answer. History?? jeez thumbs down. My mother is better off in this field. She's a plain housewife but knows the name of the presidents of each country and their prime minister. I even crossed check in the internet if she really knows the name and their absolutely correct! I teased her that the reason behind is that she just sits all day and watched news :-) Don't dare ask me about the capital of each country or from what continents that country belongs to. Good thing, I had a refresher about the states in the US. I could proudly say that I could draw the map impromtu and point to you where Mississipi is. :p
I enjoy reading this book but most of the things cited are in US since this book was published there. Once I finished this, I will try to see other versions of almanac.
