This book did not download properly and I was unable to read it, which is a shame because it’s exactly the type of book I love
Good only for sci-fi buffs. I'm not that big on sci-fi but I do enjoy decent books in this genre. A must have if you are into this genre.
This was an interesting one, I love old-school Sci-Fi so I thought this might help with my trivia knowledge. While it did it wasn't exactly what I was expecting. A quick read and something you can browse through while on the toilet or waiting for the bus.
This book was a lot of fun for my family to quiz each other with. It also helped interest my children in reading some books that they didn't know yet. We knew more than we thought we did!
This book really highlighted some grey areas in my knowledge though and reminded me that I really do need to sit down and get round to watching Battlestar Galactica at last, and that I need to rewatch everything Joss Whedon ever made.
I can imagine this book being a perfect Christmas gift or brilliant on road trips with similarly nerdy friends. The questions cover a whole range of TV shows, films, books, comics etc. and the answers vary between True/False and short sentences.
One thing that I would mention though is that this book is an absolute bitch to navigate on a Kindle paperwhite, which isn't really designed to flip backwards and forwards between question and answer pages so I'd really recommend either a print copy or a fancier Kindle than mine.
It feels a little weird reviewing a quiz book, but I have to say this one is quite amazing. I got through the quiz's quite quickly and really enjoyed the questions as well as the set up of them. I thought I would do quite poorly (I've read a little in the genre and watch a bit of tv) but I was pleasantly surprised about the questions. There was everything from Star Trek to Buffy to Battleship Galactica. And even in the easy questions there were some I found quite difficult.
There's a little of everything for every kind of fantasy/Scifi buff. And it'll keep you busy for quite a while.
I talk about The Science Fiction and Fantasy Quiz book in my May Wrap-Up starting from 1:21 and ending at 2:45

Challenging and fun trivia with a comprehensive blend of sci-fi books, movies, TV shows and more. For both adults and kids, this one is a keeper!
