Quizzing: Everything You Always Wanted to Know but Didn't Know Where to Look (The Ultimate Trivia Book) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)If you enjoy trivia games, you will want to have this book. No, it is not lengthy, but is does provide a few hours of enjoyment and fun. In addition, you will be amazed at what you can learn on a variety of topics from business, art, and mythology to math, sports and literature.
So, what is "keraunothnetophobia"? Believe it or not, that for me was one of the easy ones, learned from my studies in psychology. It is the fear of "falling man-made satellites." Actually, there are hundreds of known phobias (fears) but, needless to say, that is not one of the commonly known ones. However, when it came to sports, I completely bombed out in that category! The book is a real eye-opener in discovering just how little the average person truly does know! You may do exceedingly well in one category, but some of the other ones will really make your head spin. Hold onto your thinking cap; many of the questions are not easy.
If you are feel a need to challenge your knowledge and mental stamina, by all means buy this book. It is meant to be fun, and it is fun - enjoy!
