I love trivia and who better to write the ultimate trivia book than Austin Rogers? This book has a wide array of trivia at all different skill levels and even if you don’t do trivia nights, it’s a fun book to read alone and try to test your knowledge.

This book was overwhelming to even scan through. So many difficult questions that most would not know the answers to,you frequently have to keep turning book upside down to get correct answers. Unless you are really into trivia contests at a bar/home party,this book would gather dust,unused mostly.

As we are starting a trivia night in our library soon, this book was perfect to help us get going on finding questions with varying levels of difficulty and trivia about every possible subject. I especially love the Musical Math and Movie Math questions where you have to fill in the number from the movie and then complete the math problem (e.g. ___ First Dates PLUS ___ Angry Men [50 + 12 = 62]).

There are dozens of quizzes with multiple rounds. You'll be sure to find hundreds of questions for your next trivia night!

I loved Austin Rogers on Jeopardy so I was very excited to see this book. It is really fun...as long as you realize what it is. It is not a trivia book in the sense of interesting facts about various topics as I first hoped it was. It is actually pub trivia in the form of many short quizzes. Still a lot of fun and no doubt it will sharpen my pub trivia night skills!

Fun trivia book created by jeopardy champion. Loads of fun for families or friends....in person, but will still work on zoom. Questions are hard but not THAT hard.

The Ultimate Book of Pub Trivia is a must-have for anyone who loves trivia or just loves adding to their bank of random knowledge. The book covers so many topics and question types that you will want to have your own copy just to learn as much as you can.

I am 100% purchasing this as soon as it's released.

5/5 Stars

Thank you to NetGalley and Workman Publishing Company for providing me with an e-arc of this book in exchange for an honest review.

Would be perfect for those wanting to start their own trivia night. Loved reading this, although I think a physical copy would have been better.

I received this book from the publishers via Netgalley for a review. A good pub quiz book give you all the information to run your own quiz night and a very good range of questions

If you enjoy trivia, you are going to want to buy this book. There is a lot of "before and after" trivia which will remind you of Jeopardy. Austin Rogers has written an entertaining book. It gets a "thumbs up".

Was expecting this book to include trivia relevant to the average user. This was pretty advanced trivia that most people are unlikely to know. Fun, but maybe begin with a more basic version.

Really cool pub questions! The humor by the author made this book stand out! I can't wait to test out my new wisdom at the bar

Absolutely love this. Can be used to run your own trivia nights with friends or just enjoyed bit by bit as a quiz book to test yourself and learn some fun facts.

An enjoyable pub quiz book. I enjoyed the humorous additions from the author, who I enjoyed on his Jeopardy tenure. I found the extra factoids on each quiz page to be interesting and entertaining. I would recommend to other nerds like me!

Well I guess I learnt something here – that a book of "pub trivia" in the American language is a quiz book. But it's still not a quiz book as us Brits know it. After a brief introduction, declaring the author to have been on a few TV shows and got utterly frustrated at the more insular kind of NYC bar quiz, we get straight to the questions – set in pages of ten, with the answers upside down at the bottom. All pages also try and find room for a factoid – the actual trivia I thought I was getting. There's also a closing how-to guide, suggesting a variety of subjects etc, which should all be fairly bloody self-explanatory.

So it's the core of the book that is possibly of most interest. And it's fairest to say this doesn't travel – a list of the world's most numerous fast food chain outlets features at least one I don't think exists in Britain. Neither do we care for Canadian hockey magazine initials. It was interesting to see an Answersmash kind of two-part answer format so prevalent, likewise a Mouse of Games equivalent (oh, sorry, British TV quizzing cultural references not fully your thing?! Yup, that's how it feels). But the biggest different between this and practically every quiz book I've used before now, and every quiz show I've ever watched, and more importantly every pub quiz I've ever won, is that at least 90% of this is in the form of statement. No, the 'questions' ignore the questioning aspect of the question (and the grammar of the same) and just exist as a phrase with an aspect to it left out, which is the intended answer.

I think Jeopardy! does similar, but it's decades since I saw any episode of that, as it never succeeded east of Maine. But it's a huge cultural gulf that only adds to the USA-only-isms of what came before and meant this was not terribly useful to me. It's a well-meaning book, kind of talking down to people and yet flooding them with quiz questions that do have a long shelf-life. I can see many getting a good use out of it, but by virtue of geography I couldn't call myself one of them. And what is the beef with being interrogative?

Pros: My family and I had so much fun with this book on a road trip. Asking and answering the questions helped pass the time, and my trivia-loving brother was able to brush up on his skills. My favorite puzzles were the Flags and Maps rounds. I also loved the fun facts throughout. I appreciated that this book's quizzes sometimes require more than just knowing facts--I had lots of fun with the before and after puzzles and the math puzzles. I was surprised at how many rounds of trivia were included in this book--it is obvious that so much time and care went into creating it.

Cons: Not a con but a note to check the answers on page 20 to make sure they are correct.

Thank you to NetGalley and Workman Publishing Company for the opportunity to read this book.

It is with many apologies that I have to inform you that I cannot read PDF files, only those that can go on my kindle. I did not realise when I requested this that it would not be available on kindle. I am so sorry for not noticing this and would like to agan offer my hearfelt apologies for making this error. It's a shame as I was really looking forward to reading this.

This is a fun collection of Pub Trivia pages. It's organized with rounds of 10 themed questions per page, 4 rounds of 10 per quiz. Each quiz contains difficulty labels and there are many themed types of quizzes (e.g. Before and After). Answers are upside down on the page so it's possible for the reader to play along at home (though once you look at one answer it's hard not to see them all!) Example pages include Nineties Sitcoms, Random Stuff You Might Know, 20th-Century Literature, and Pooches (identify the dog breed for each photo). It seems like a fun mix of trivia category that would appeal to a broad range of people (not just content "specialists"). The quizzes seem fun and I'm excited to try some out at an upcoming event for students and to quiz my spouse.
