 Intrestingly fastinating June 26, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Having never seen an episode of QI, I was unsure what to expect from this book however i was not disappointed. It is a very readable and fascinating book showing you just how many things you think you know are wrong. I enjoyed reading it and read it over the weekend but my friends and relatives enjoyed it less so as i quizzed them, knowing they would get the answers wrong. A very interesting read for anyone wishing to extend their general knowledge.
The Book of "Ah-ha!" Moments June 24, 2008

This curious and endlessly diverting little tome will provide ammunition for those pub debate moments and settle pub quizzes rapidly. Be prepared however to annoy those over the niceties of the difference between 'highest' and 'tallest' in terms of the 'Everest is the highest mountain, discuss' type entry!
You can actually feel your mind expanding upon reading this.
Super - this is the sort of book that everyone finds diverting, though could have done with a more detailed index.

A really fantastic book. You'll soon start to realise everything you thought you knew is wrong, and you'll end up telling all your friends and relatives all your new-found knowledge!
fun, interesting trivia written in a clever and concise way April 4, 2008

Fun facts for trivia fans. Having never seen the BBC series, I picked up The Book of General Ignorance based solely on a nice price and curiosity. It actually turned out to be quite a nice read. Lots of fun, interesting trivia written in a clever and concise way. Good stuff.
