I am so pleased with this book! I got it last night and I haven't been able to put it down since! I highly recommend it for anyone who is a Y&R fan! It has really cool "unknown facts" that you'd never know otherwise! GET IT!

This review is from: The Ultimate Young and the Restless Trivia Book (Paperback)

I thought this book would be more of a trivia style book, but instead it reads like a collection of interesting facts about the actors and actresses on Y&R. This book is not associated with the show so some of the facts really aren't that interesting as they have nothing to do with the soap. However, I did enjoy reading through it.

Update: I noticed that used copies of this book are now available on amazon for over $100, and in light of this I have to say that it is NOT a collectors item by any means and certainly is not worth the hefty price tag. Yes I enjoyed reading it, but I purchased it for under $5. I would have been horrified if I had spent more money than that because it really isn't associated with the show, and many of the actors that are used in the book only had a short stint on the soap.
