Format:Hardcover
I love this beautiful book. It is crammed full of everything I learnt at school and things i sadly didn't and brought it all flooding back. The authors have pulled off a good balance of fun writing style and facts expressed clearly and concisely. I would recommend as a gift for everyone who needs to refresh their minds before helping too clever children with their homework.

This is a hugely informative, substantial and entertaining book, nice to hold and look at. Everything you have forgotten from school - and more - is here. Highly recommended.

I bought this book for a friends birthday who absolutely loved it, so much so I'm now going to buy it for all my relatives this Christmas. I love the quizzes in the book, and it is genuinely amazing to have all the things you learnt at school come flooding back. I can't recommend Homework for Grownups highly enough. Buy it!

Useful
A nice useful book - you can read it from cover to cover or just use it for reference when you need it. It bought back memories from my school days. Excellent stocking filler.
