This is a book that thinks it a game, a quiz that thinks it is a book. Who are the most photographed people ever? What items are stolen most frequently from British hotels? Which snakes kill the most people? What are the most atheistic countries in the world? What is Britain's best-selling fruit? Which countries have the highest proportion of Internet users? These questions--and many, many more--are answered inside. But first you have to try to answer yourself.
A unique take on a quiz book.Thoroughly enjoyable, informative. It can indeed be used as a book and a game and a quiz - I've used it as all three. Truly fascinating - a must for anyone who wants to challenge themselves, and learn interesting stuff!
A truly unique concept- a book cum quiz cum gamebook that will entertain you for hours. What's in there, you'll ask. Well, it's essentially a test of your general knowledge. Do you know who the most followed Twitter celebrity is? Can you list the world's seven longest rivers? These are some of the questions you can expect in there and if you're as much of a information-hungry person as I am, the book makes for a fun read! You can attempt it by yourself, with a couple friends or with your family. I tried it out with all three of the above, and loved every minute of it!
In today's internet-dominated society, it's rare to find books like this one out there. You'll think you can search up the ten most populous countries in the world anytime on the internet- why on earth would you need a book to learn that? The answer is that books ground you- they give you a sense of realism and an actual base of learning.
So even if you think you might know the answers to every question inside this book, I dare you to try it out. You might learn surprising things about yourself. And if you think you're pretty much blanking out on most general knowledge questions, definitely read the book!
Some of the points that bothered me about Order Order were the focus on chiefly British trivia, and the inconsistency of pictures. It would've definitely been more fun to have pictures accompanying every question as a visual treat and maybe the Britain-centered questions could have been lesser, but I still enjoyed it!
Kudos to author Nick Weatherhogg for working so hard in assembling all the information (accurately, too!) and daring to put out a quiz book in a world where information is just one click away.
