An excellent book about one of the biggest phenomenons in the history of television. Great facts and great questions. Only complaints: more "writing" on show info (only 30 pgs or so - the rest is sample questions), and pictures would be nice.

The book of "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?" is rather well done and worth buying. The authors put in a good mix of both simple and challenging questions, and the book has an organized and easy to read layout. I liked the fact that the answers are in the back, and that the lifelines are located so that a reader doesn't immediately flip to the page with the answers.

In addition, the beginning of the book has interesting facts about the game show, including its development and how the show is run. It was a great idea to put the history of the show into the book, and this portion certainly made the book more enjoyable.

"Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?" is a very pleasant book, and if you finish answering all the questions, there's always the online game at abc.com for you to try. Either way, both the online game and the book are entertaining enough to make you feel like you've won a million bucks.

Out of the 200 pages in this book, 174 are all question pages.But the 26 pages of info are superb, from Regis first hearing of theBrittish show to ABC buying the rights from Britains ITV, it's all here. But there are no pictures which is a bit misleading from it's glossy cover, not so much an official guide but more of a quiz book. My advice, go and buy the Brittish guide, lots more show info and laden with glossy pictures.

I love Who Wants to be a Millionaire with Regis Philbin the host of the T.V. show & I love this book by author David Fisher & (Editor), Michael P. Davies & Who Wants To Be A Millionaire on T.V. reminds me of The National Finals Rodeo in Las Vegas, Nevada at The Thomas & Mack Center.

I like the Phone a friend lifeline & I think it is cool that you phone a friend for a question you are stuck on!

The stars from Millionaire that played before I like is David Stewart, Tyrese, Gary Cahall, Dan Blonsky & Mary Beth & Rob McNalley the stars from Millionaire on the T.V. shows.

The gameshows I like is Wheel of Fortune, Jeopardy! & Who Wants To Be A Millionaire & the shows on abc I like is All My Children, General Hospital & Who Wants To Be A Millionaire!

This is a great book & I loved it!!!!!!!

This book generally contains fascinating tidbits about the most popular game show on television today. However, it did not include as many trivia questions as I assumed there would be. Some questions are at an easy level while others are more difficult, similar to those that actual contestants answer on the game show. Unfortunately, the questions fail to cover a broad range of topics. I agree that too many trivia questions focus around the media, even television shows that I never even saw. But if you enjoy the show, then this makes a good collector's item. YOu'll have a more enjoyable time answering the questions that appear on the show instead of the ones in this book.

This book is not as great as it sounds. Michael Davis barely gives you a "behinds-the-scenes" look. It's very boring too. There are pages and pages of questions and the answers are there. I don't recommend this to anyone, except the WWTBAM fanatic Rosie O'Donnell.

....this is not the book for you. I did not like this book at all. I was looking for a general-knowledge-trivia book and this was not it; it has way too many questions about TV shows, and the rest of them sound for a fifth or sixth grader student. If you are American (because it also has tons of only-North American issues) and just started to play trivia (looking for an easy one) you might like this though... otherwise I would recommend you to look for another trivia book.

I admit that the show is rather enjoyable, or at least was with Regis, but the book left me a little wanting. Bear in mind that it is a typical quiz book with questions and answers in the appendix. It could be fun for an organizational party or something, but just sitting down and reading it is a little absurd. There's not all that much trivia to cover, and moreoever, its got very little re-readability.

This is a good book, and it is fun to play the games in it! However, I would like to have seen more writing about the actual show. There are only a few pages that discuss the show, and then the rest of the book is the games. It is neat to play the 15 Millionaire games that are included with family members and friends, though, and test each other's knowledge. Overall, this is a fun and enjoyable book, and I recommend it to anyone who is a fan of "Who Wants to be a Millionaire" or just a trivia buff.

You have got to be kidding me! Talk about a quick way to make a buck. This book is braindead material as is the laughable television show. Are Americans really this stupid that they will put up with this nonsense? I think not. . . this book and the people on the television version ( including the creators) all belong in third grade.
