Great Quizzing!
Questions uncover stories of things we know about or use in our lives a lot but don't know these stories behind them.

How smart are you? Do you think questions on Who Wants To Be A Millionaire or Jeopardy are too easy? When your with your friends are they in awe by all the trivia knowledge that you possess? Well if you’re looking for a new challenge or to gain some more trivia knowledge to impress people, check out InQUIZitive Trivia Quiz & Pub Book Volume IV by Sumit Dhar.

The InQUIZitive book series is not your normal trivia book, it has a lot of information that you won’t find in other trivia books. Some of the questions range from Chinese history to rock music. InQUIZitive has a little something for everyone. The questions are hard, but you will learn a lot if you stick with it. I found as I was reading through the questions and answers that they are hard but I also realized that I was learning a lot of things that I didn’t know before.
InQUIZitive is an addictive read, its part quiz book and part history book. I had to read the answers after each question because I didn’t know any of them and once I started I couldn’t stop. If you’re a trivia buff you have to get into the InQUIZitive series. Once you start reading it you will realize that no matter how smart you are, you have a lot to learn.
If you don’t know who Malik Abdul Aziz is, or who Richard M. Schulze is, then you need this book. If you like Trivia Crack or Trivial Pursuit then you’ve got to try InQUIZitive. Sumit Dhar has created a book that is fun, informative and addictive. My first thought when I started it was that I’m not smart enough to read this book, but I also found that I couldn’t put it down. If the fact that this book is fun isn’t enough to get you to read it, just get it so you can impress your friends with how much you know.

Although I was able to correctly answer many of the questions without peeking at the answer, the trivia questions in this collection stretched my mind. The subject matter is everything from word origins to the circumstances behind an invention of something that nearly everyone uses. There are some containing significant clues that lead you to the answer, but in other cases there is nothing in the manner of a hint.
The questions are split into groups of five with the answers appearing on the following page. There is no overall theme to a group, the subjects within the groups are just as disparate as the overall collection. I went through the entire collection of 100 questions in one sitting, once I started I found myself caught up in the chase of tackling even more of the questions.
If you enjoy stretching your mind by tackling trivia questions, this is a book that you will love.

I received a copy of this book from the author, because he knows I love trivia!
This series rocks! The fourth book of the series has 20 quizzes perfect for friends and family time together. The categories range from music to art to business and they are just as difficult to figure out as the first three books.
The questions are put out there with clues to what the logical answer would be and the answers are exacting and accurate.
I can't say enough about these fun books! Great for the trivia buffs and lovers of knowledge everywhere.

I'm not one for trivia, but I did enjoy this book. This would be a great read for someone interested in Jeopardy, or Trivia Pursuit. Maybe giving these books to your children and download the new 'Trivia Crack' program, would be an excellent learning experience. Kisses.
