Reviews

[Rich Meyer · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is a fun trivia book, though the answers to all the questions are in the little electronic gizmo that's attached as part of the book. Fairly good question choices and easy to play.

One problem: The second question I was asked was #2501. There are only 2500 questions in the book (at least that I can find).
