I recently acquired a copy of Monkee Micky's Rock and Rollin' trivia book. When I picked it up, I figured it'd be mostly about the Monkees and such, but no.... Micky's done his homework and is putting us through our pop culture paces over a period of four decades. I own 1000+ CDs and I did NOT know that Paul McCartney is the guy saying "Quite rightly" during Donovan's Mellow Yellow. :) This book is a blast, and will often send you scurrying back to your CD player, if not your old turntable, to check it all out.

I highly recommend it to my fellow baby boomers, as well as to our offspring who find earlier rock and roll music to be history of interest.

Boy, was this book a great find! I was very pleased with this new book from former Monkee Micky Dolenz. After flipping through just the first few pages, I was delighted to discover the range of questions and the interesting answers included. Micky has done a great job of capturing everything about rock music that has made it so much fun over the years.

The game layout in the book is both useful and clever. It allows the reader to only see any given question at one time while each successive answer is on the following page. There's a "How to Play the Games" section in the front of the book that explains game format very well - once I was done reading it, playing the games was a snap.

There's also more in this book besides trivia questions. Micky tells classic stories about meeting The Beatles and gives a poignant remembrance of his friend, singer/songwriter Harry Nilsson, that alone is worth the price of the book.

As a big-time Monkees fan, I was pleasantly surprised to find this book in the 40th Anniversary year of The Monkees. Micky's still one of the greatest, and this is probably one of the best rock trivia books I've ever read. If you like rock 'n roll trivia, you will be SO happy that you bought this book!

This book is Great !! My husband and I play the trivia with each other to see who is smarter !! I love Micky Dolenz and I am very happy with his book. I even learned a few things LOL
