I bought two copies of this book for my girlfriend and myself.We love playing trivia and I thought this book would add to our fun.However, way too many answers to these questions contain the word "about".No answer to any trivia question should be approximate. I want definitive answers.Overall the book is okay, just not nearly as entertaining as trivial pursuit questions.
There was a cute writing in the front from some grandma to her grandchild. Quick shipping. I bought used. Makes it a little special. In fact, I call it Grandma's book.
However, many questions do not have simple one word answers and most are very specific. The book is attractive and organized nicely. Even an expert would not know most of these answers. I planned to use it as a source for trivia games. I thought it would work well because of the Q and A format. If you are looking to simply read interesting trivia, then it would be good. But, if you are looking for a source for games, do not buy it.
This is an excellent resource for the weekly trivia game where I live, an assisted living residence for people over age 60. All adult age groups - really, adolescents too - will enjoy this collection of Q's and A's.The questions cover a wide variety of subjects, and they are arranged logically and systematically. It's helpful that the answers are with the questions (on the back of the page), so you don't have to fumble around at the back of the book, trying to find the right set of answers, as you have to with so many trivia and quiz books. This nice, fat book is going to keep our weekly game well supplied with trivia questions for months to come.
Although I found this quiz book very tough going at first, once I found the answers in the back of the book I found myself getting the questions right about ninety per cent of the time. Come on give us a challenge.
