What a fun book! Not just an ordinary trivia book. The puzzle format of the book makes it very entertaining and really exercises those brain cells. Questions invoke knowlege of films, music, actors, and fictional characters from different genres and decades. My daughter and I had fun working on the puzzles together; she's especially good with current trivia! The music and TV trivia questions were my personal favorites.
