I was driving cross country with some friends. I bought the book last minute to kill some time on the trip. The whole car was rolling with laughter with this wacky book. It was a an endless supply of laughs but also generated some really interesting conversations. We actaully talked about one of the questions for a couple of hours. It is so reasonably priced, you get more than your money's worth.

Hilarious! I played the board game by the same name - and loved it, so I thought the book would be great too. Its full of random questions that make you think or make you disgusted, or somewhere in between. Actually, it makes me wonder what kind of twisted mind the author has. There are also interesting quotes and facts that go with each question - very entertaining. I'd recommend it for road trips or any gathering you know will need livening up!

...It's definetly better to ask the questions to your friends, you get a much better response.

However, the questions are awesome and make you sit and ponder. There are defiently some questions that aren't for everyone. A lot of them make me kinda quesy. Some of my other 16-18 yo friends wouldn't like it, but the majority would found it down right sweet, as soon as i get back to high school. And the size is handy because you can fit it in pratically any pocket.

My brother's favorite part is the little side notes at the bottom of each page. Wheather it's a joke or fact relating to the question.
So would you rather
Always show up 20 minutes late for everything
-or-
always show up 90 minutes early for everything?

I would give this 5 stars, except that I was a bit surprised when I read some entries pertaining to sex. There is another version of Zobmondo that is supposed to be dirty, so I guess I figured this version would be clean. All in all, it's a great way to encourage the art of discussion, even if it encourages a discussion of the merits of eating live rodents' body parts.

I got this book from my querky sister... Now I'm the querky sister! What great entertainment this turned out with our weenend camping trips. Makes for great discussions and very thought provoking. Interestingly enough, although conversations about the choices were loud and long, no one got angry or upset, just good laughs and a lot of fun. (could even fun for kids when some censorship is used! ha!) Recommend this book for anyone who likes to entertain -- just as fun as MAD-LIBs but without the pencils.

There are over 400 questions to this little 'book of choices', each containing 'shocking' content meant to inspire discussion and fun. From the ingredients of a can of cat food and whether it's better to eat that or whole lemons to funny quotes from famous personalities, Zobmondo! is a recommended and whimsical title for those with zany humor.

I bought this years ago from one of those wonderfully quirky book stores that you stumble across. My copy is now well worn. I bring this out at dinner parties, car trips, random boring waiting places etc. and it always receives a great reception. This illicits fantastic conversations with personal points of view and rationalisations being given. It really gives you an insight into your friends minds with questions you would never, ever think to ask but love to hear the answer of. Some questions are rather crazy but on the most part fabulous. One of the highlights of this book that noone else seems to have mentioned is the fun facts on each page relating in some way to the question. These are almost worthy of their own book but just make this one. I also own a copy of one of the Zobmondo board games which is also very fun. This one is a must have for the coffee table or car and is often carried around in my bag, which may explain its dog-earedness.

I thought it was going to have more interesting and thought provoking questions... seem mostly absurd or going for the gross effect. 13 year boys would get a kick out of it.

It is okay - but after the first few pages I thought I was in 4th grade again.

Zobmondo has proven to be a beneficial purchase due to its ability to entertain the reader & company. This book has broken awkward silences, opened many opportunities to learn more about my friends & left many friends & myself in hysterics! A great ice breaker & fun time with Zobmondo!
