Publisher's Summary
A New York Times pick for "Best Audiobooks for Road Trips with Kids"
Exclusively on Audible, hilarious history for ages eight and up.
Fasten your falx knives and grab the reins of your quadriga: Rivals 2! More Frenemies Who Changed the World is the funniest look at people who benefited the world through their hatred.
Hear how the rivalry between Edison and Tesla literally changed the course of electricity, how sports fans nearly toppled the Roman Empire, how geniuses Chanel and Schiaparelli empowered women worldwide and had the greatest rivalry that wasn’t, and how the feud between Joe Frazier and Muhammad Ali was so intense more people tuned in to their fight than watched Neil Armstrong set foot on the moon two years earlier.
This audiobook has it all: death beams, chariot races, flaming costumes, ear-munchers, party fleas, and whatever the opposite of epic poetry is.... No fact is too bizarre, no segue too surreal, and no sequitur is too non for this riotous sequel.
Now available in Dolby Atmos on Audible.

Demeaning
The second instalment of this series where they grossly exaggerate the women’s voices to sound like total ditzes. It’s offensive. Come on man, Schiaparelli deserves better than this.

All Hail Booger Face
after the first audio book, I quickly preordered the second. I chuckled out loud just the same with the sound effects and all. looking forward to the third and again wished it was longer.

Great Job all around Mr. McCormick. This was every bit as good as part 1. I learned a lot and was laughing the whole way. Kudos to the cast too.

For the Patriarchy!
At first, I thought I prefer the voice of Prentice Onayemi(Narrator for Book 1) more instead of Bill Andrew Quinn for the narration and will be left disappointed, but after fully listening to it I was hooked just like the first book in the series! A job well done to all the cast and hoping for a part 3!! Funny, entertaining and educational. A good listen to all ages!!

A fun jaunt through conflicts in history
I only wish Scott would make all of history so much fun. Though there are lots of conflicts that moved the saga of civilization along so he might keep trying.

Fabulous Frenemies!
Similar to the 1st Rivals, I truly enjoyed this offering. I would recommend to anyone interested in unique historical reference presented in a humorous, entertaining fashion.
Please keep ‘em coming!

Simply Amazing! Great for kids!
I love these books! The author does a great job in pulling you into the lives if the people he writes about. His story telling makes you want to learn more about each individual; and the fact he leaves a suggested bibliography makes it all the more easier to do so.

Good, Not Great
The first book was much better, the second book had many more distractions and not as much story compared to the first book. the first book made me laugh and kept me interested. Where as the second book left me wanting. Hard to explain the differences. However the first book was well thought out, each rivalry had its own chapter and was much more immersive. The second book only had two chapters, each with two stories making it harder to re listen to each individual story in part. Overall it seems as if the second book was hastily put together as a last min project, and the first book was done more out of passion and deeply thought out. For almost $11 in cost, I'd highly suggest the first book where the 2nd book felt like a trap only to take my money.
