Reading So You Think You're a New York Mets fan was bittersweet. I always used to challenge my Dad to whatever Mets trivia I could find, and 9 times out of 10 he would get it right on the first guess. So reading this book now that he passed away, it made me wonder how many of these questions he would have known! (And how bad he would tease me for how little I knew!)

I liked this book because it was a trivia book at its core - but it also was educational. Rather than just saying "Which Met did this?" and then "The answer is David Wright" it went into details about the history of things and each answer was a few pages of an explanation so if you didn't know the answer now not only do you know the answer but you know enough back story to be able to impress your friends and hopefully remember the answer the next time it might come up.

I was also pleased that one of the questions about who had hit multiple home runs in a World Series game I knew the answer to - because I was at the game! Definitely a must read if you are a Mets fan or a great book to get if you are friends with a Mets fan and want to try and stump them :)

I received a free e-copy of this book in order to write this review, I was not otherwise compensated.

This review is based only on the e-book as the general layout of e-books does not make this type of book easy to read. The questions are listed, then the answers, but the answers to the last questions of the list are many, many page taps away from that list. In the particular version (Kindle) I received, there was no quick way to toggle back and forth between questions and answers, which is crucial for the type of information given . The information on the answers is great and I loved reading those tidbits, but it just did not work for e-books.

A great read for a Mets fan! I liked the fact it had different levels in it so while I got a few of the early rounds right (being a relatively new Mets fan) I did struggle with the later rounds but full explanations to the questions are given so I learned some new things I didn't previously know.
