Book Reviews of 5087 Trivia Questions & Answers
Book Review: Large book packed with trivia questions and answers
Summary: 4 Stars
5087 Trivia Questions and Answers is one of the most thorough collections that I have read. Of course one of the problems with trivia is that what one person finds fascinating another could care less about. So, while one person would be fascinated by the 74 pages of questions on Sports and Games, I could care less. Then again, the questions on the World and American history are great. With that in mind, knowing how much emphasis is placed on which categories should help determine if this book would be of interest to you. It is divided into fifteen chapters, each with it's own focus of questions. The chapters cover Arts, Comics & Literature, 64 pgs, Sports & Games, 74 pgs, War & the Military, 26 pgs, Television & Radio, 54 pgs, Business, Advertising & Inventions, 38 pgs, Religion, the Bible & Mythology, 14 pgs, America - Past & Present, 78 pgs, The World, 66 pgs, Language, 32 pgs, Food, 24 pgs, Music & Theater, 54 pgs, Presidential Trivia, 30 pgs, Science, Nature & Medicine, 50 pgs, The Cinema, 116 pgs, and Miscellaneous, 24 pgs.One thing that was different about this trivia book when compared to others that I have read is that you can't really cheat with it. With most trivia books I have to admit that I end up doing something like the Jeopardy television show. It is so easy to look ahead when reading a question and kind of steal a glance at the answer. When the answer is right there, right after the question it is just so tempting to sneak a peak. After a while you can end up reading the answers and then the question. In this book the questions are on one page and the answers are on the back of the same page. No sneaking a peak. In addition, you can have two or three of you reading the book and discussing what you think the answers might be without someone looking ahead at the answers. I really liked the format, I really liked the trivia choices, I really liked most of the categories. Among trivia books, I really liked the book.
