WARNING:Don't start listening to this unless you have A LOT of spare time!!!I started listening and couldn't stop! I listened to the whole boIf you love trivia this book's foot you!ok in 3 sittings!Along with fascinating factoids you'll hear things y o u didn't know about the Ki n g of YouTube-read by the man himself!
Funny, informative and easy to listen to. Same style of his YouTube channel which makes it a winner.
I love watching Matt's videos and I was sure that his first book would be amazing. I was definitely right.
Every week Matthew Santoro reaches thousands of viewers through the magic of YouTube. His main YouTube channel is simultaneously entertaining and informative. Rather than being a tell-all memoir like so many YouTubers are doing at the moment, Santoro's Mind Blown goes hand in hand with the content he regularly uploads on YouTube. I'm happy to say that Santoro's humour and contagious enthusiasm translate admiringly from YouTube to paper.Santoro's book is very much at the image of his YouTube channel where he relates strange facts and anecdotes along with crazy stories from all around the world. In Mind Blown Santoro puts together facts from history, law, popular-culture and more that are somewhere between head-scratching and laugh-out-loud.Mind Blown is divided into small sections like Child Prodigies, YouTube Remixâwhere he expends on he previously tackled on his channelâ and Fast Facts. Content varies greatly from chapter to chapter. For instance, one is devoted to superstitions in China adding a sprinkle of humour with his own quote-on-quote Canadian "superstitions".Whichever the topic may be, Santoro relates unusual information in way that holds the reader's interest and promotes growth of impressive knowledge that will make readers go, "I didn't know that!", improve bar conversations and amaze their friends and family.A sampler:-Governments in Ancient Persia used to debate laws twiceâ once sober and once drunk.-Zimbabwe had a hundred-trillion dollar bill.-Walt Disney was once fired from hid job for "lacking imagination and creativity".In retrospect l enjoyed the book although l would've liked to read more about the YouTuber's personal journey. The personal introduction at the beginning where Santoro talks about his career up to date felt more intimate and gave insight as to how he came to be who he is. I liked Santoro's quirky facts about his personal favourites ranging from food and movies, l thought it added a personal element to Mind Blown.Mind Blown is a relatively short volume filled with fun facts that's really more of a flip-through than an page-turner. Its hard to put down and learning about weird and random facts never gets old. 4/5 stars.
Such a great read, as full of energy as Matt displays on all of his social platforms.
I love the details and facts that are pointed out.
I always say I am full of â101â useless facts. Now here comes the book that will allow me to fill up with thousands more. Matthew Santoro is a star in the virtual world and now turns to traditional world of books to get his message out.Matthew shares his rise from a humble accountant to star of his own show on YouTube. I have seen him on Periscope and familiar with his work. He is full of energy and a constant showman. The book is broken down into easy to read chapters. It is one you donât simply have to read from front to back, but one that you can pick up midstream and see what fun story pops out at you.This book is a clever compilation of facts and is a must read for anyone who want to have that special nugget in the cocktail circuit.
A very interesting good to read and ,excellent seller, highly recommended. A+++++++++
