IT'S ALL RELATIVE Adventures Up and Down the World's Family Tree

A.J. Jacobs, a contributing editor to ESQUIRE, is delightful delivering his amusing genealogical exploration of how we humans are all interconnected. His proposition, that we're all cousins related to the first man and woman in some degree of separation, spurs his attempts to put together the largest "family reunion" in history. Jacobs uses his signature humor to chart his efforts, contacting celebrities and other notables with always entertaining if mixed results. Jacobs's narration is droll, and, while his "event" set no records worthy of the Guinness book, the actual reunion saw approximately 3,800 people attending simultaneous reunions in 44 locations. Jacobs offers an informative, easy-to-enjoy audiobook. S.J.H. Winner of AudioFile Earphones Award © AudioFile 2018, Portland, Maine [Published: FEBRUARY 2018]
