The Cultural Literacy Trivia Guide is designed for someone who wants to study for any of the many game shows now on TV. Many of the clues on Who Wants to be a Millionaire? and Jeopardy! are contained within the pages of this book. It contains over 12,500 facts that come up over and over on these types of shows. No other trivia book today contains the amount of information in this book and designed with short easy to study clues. This book is a must for anyone studying for any of the challenging game shows on American TV today.
This book was marketed by the author to prepare for trivia game shows. It certainly delivers on that promise. It features a wide range of information on everything from Famous People, movies, literature, history, countries, states, and much much more!!
While watching shows like Jeopardy and Who Wants To Be A Millionaire, I will flip through it, and the majority of answers are really in here!!
With that being said, for an average person like myself this book may leave something be desired. Many of the sections are a little too fact based for my taste. For example, it will tell you Charles Dickens wrote A Christmas Carol, but nothing more. I know the book must be edited for space, but I am curious about a lot of things in it, and it is a pain to have to look them up elsewhere.
Overall, though a great book to study, or just casually flip through.
