5.0 out of 5 stars THIS BOOK is brilliant, May 14, 2006

There is no doubt about it- 'THIS BOOK' is just simply brilliant. There is so much information that you have ever wanted to know contained within it's humble cover- most of it is useless, but imagine you went on a quiz show- 'THIS BOOK' would do wonders for you. I was reading THIS BOOK for hours without eating, letting my thirst and hunger for knowledge overtake my hunger and thirst for food. I highly recommend that you buy it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very good "input" for an active trivia buff, August 25, 2009

This book is great to take to your doctor's waiting room. It's great for those of us with ADHD that don't have a long attention span. No long chapters and no plots to remember from one chapter to another. I thoroughly enjoy this trivia book. One of the other trivia books in this series has a bit too much celebrity info in it but this one is great. I just wish it was a paperback or softcover.
