Thank you, Cedar Mills Press, for providing this book for review consideration via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. All opinions are my own.

Mr. Book just finished True Facts That Sound Like Bull$#*t: Sports, by Shane Carley.

This book was published in November 2024.

I find that books like this have the potential to go in one of two directions: either they can very interesting or disappointing. Unfortunately, there was too much of the latter in this one. I found that, while facts were interesting, there were too many that weren’t. I also found several questionable ones in the baseball section. I don’t know other sports as well to be able to vouch for the credibility there, but those entries made me question the entire book.

I give this book a C.

Goodreads and NetGalley require grades on a 1-5 star system. In my personal conversion system, a C equates to 2 stars. (A or A+: 5 stars, B+: 4 stars, B: 3 stars, C: 2 stars, D or F: 1 star).
