I have always felt that my general knowledge let me down, so when my sister asked me to start accompanying her to the local pub's weekly quiz night I was mortified at the thought! The embarrasement and frustration of not being able to answer many questions was not an enjoyable prosepct, so I had a look at the pub quiz/general knowledge books Amazon have to offer and decided to purchase this one. It is fabulous. What I immediatly loved was the straightforward format and the great mix of questions, ranging from showbiz to politics and all modern, current and up to date. It has improved my general knowledge without doubt. I love reading through it of an evening and learning some great facts and jogging the old grey matter, "Oh yes of course I knew that, and oh gosh well I never knew that!" It is interesting, fun and as well as improving my general knowledge no end, it is also boosting my confidence. It is great to feel a little more knowledgable and better informed. As for the pub quizes, well I do feel a slight cheat as yes a few questions have already popped up that feature in the book (but hey no one needs to know how I knew the answers!) I may never be an Einsten but this book is enabling me to feel a little less of a fool round that pub table!
