A Book for Trivia Lovers!

This is part of a series of books of Useless Information...so much fun to read, so interesting...facts we may or may not have heard in the past are here for us now! If you're a trivia lover, get this book, as well as the others in the series---you won't be disappointed! This isn't another of those typical Bathroom Reader trivia books, it's much better! (And for those of you who enjoy the trivia games, these books are great for making your own---in today's economy, you get more bang for the buck with these books!)

The Perfect Man "TR"

Just the perfect size of mindless drivel to read while on the ivory throne (works better for men).

Absolutely hilarious!!

First of all, do not trust any reviews by anyone who states they did not read the whole book. This is basically a 286 page long April Fools joke and those who gave it a bad rating without reading the whole thing are just the suckers who fell for it. DO NOT buy this if you are looking for a serious book of facts. DO buy it if you want to prank a friend. The very last fact in this book sheds some light on the whole book. I will not ruin the ending by telling you what it is, though.....

People are to hard on this book

This is a good book. There are only a couple of mistakes in the book and most of them are just half-truths not lies. I think everyone is being to hard on it. It is interesting and fun to read.

Brilliantly Useless!

My kingdom for an invitation to a cocktail party after having started perusing this book. Just think how erudite I'll sound when I start spouting off these facts no one may actually NEED to know but many will most definitely find interesting. Not to mention the next time I can rope a few friends into a game of Trivial Pursuit. Boggles the mind. The power! Okay, maybe not so much, but it *is* fun of a somewhat nerdly sort. All trivia buffs on earth must start scrounging for loose change in the sofa now and find the money to purchase this book. It's such a delight, and I really can't wait to start impressing people with my newfound useless knowledge. What a change this will be from my former useless knowledge. At least now I have a book to back me up...
