I read this book some time ago, before it was added to Goodreads, so I would have to reread it to get a better take on what I thought of it. What I do remember is thinking that I did very poorly on some sections of the trivia, and I faintly remember some kind of issue with an answer in the back, as in an answer was repeated or paired with the wrong question, or something along those lines. If I get around to rereading it, I will have to update my review.

This is a fairly quick and easy read with a variety of quizzes. Most of the relevant facts, things Catholics should actually know, were pretty easy. More of the questions pertained to obscure trivia, and while that was interesting, I'll probably forget most of it soon.
I read this book after I found it on the bookshelf in my house with no idea how it got there. I asked everyone in the family and no one remembers putting it there.

InQUIZition is a fun, factual, and informative look at the Catholic faith. Patrick Madrid has used a Q&A format to cover manyof the aspects of Catholicism from Doctrine to Sainthood. It will educate and entertain everyone from Cradle Catholic, to convert to curious.
