Good Clean Fun, Even the Political Stuff

I have been a history buff for years, and there are lots of great history questions here, but I also enjoyed the material about pop culture and food. Guess I knew more about pop music and movies than I did about the presidents! There is something here for everybody including kids. I really liked the final section, 20 questions about each oft he 50 states.

Loads of Fun

OK, so we're all in a patriotic mood now, and why not? America has a lot to celebrate, and this book is all about every aspect of American culture and history. I found this book in my doctor's waiting room and liked it so much I bought it myself. Everything is here--history, TV, movies, pop music, food, trends, politics, especially the US presidents, lots more. I like the format of having the answers on the backs of the question pages. It's good clean fun, and we've enjoyed it with the family.

A terrific book...

This is a terrific trivia book. I would highly reccommend all of J. Stehpen Lang's books. His questions are interesting and a pleasure to read. The author clearly is a lover of trivia and presents it in an enjoyable format.
