Customer Reviews

Greatly enjoyed

I have several of these. Always enjoy reading the questions on long trips. Book arrived as described.

A little outdated but just perfect

I work in psych corrections and sometimes we need to just not talk about work. This book is a great conversation piece. It is outdated (1985) and that’s part of its charm. We double the money value and have a good time. Would you eat a bowl of live crickets for a years salary? I absolutely love this book. Maybe I should start bringing it out on my dates.

Food for Thought

I have been a writer for 20 years and this book has openned many doors and friendships. It also has made me think and ponder ideas and isssues I never thought before. I have had three copies over the years and still go back to this book for thoughts to ponder. I suggest any writer get a copy and keep it for ideas. I enjoy sharing these questions with friends & family. I have gotten to know many people better just by openning this book So a question for you, Are you going to buy this book or not?

The ultimate in books of this genre.

It's up to you what you take with you from this book as you aren't likely to get much if you're not honest with yourself. This book will require you at times to be insightful, introspective, self-doubting, and questioning.Do you really know as much about yourself (or others) as you think you do? Chances are that you don't, and this book is just the piece you need to help you discover that.This book is great to go through by yourself, but I prefer to read through it either with my significant other or a group of friends. The questions are random so you can go straight through, or have someone pick a number and read the according question. Either way you're going to get a wide variety of questions.This book is great for creating conversations where there might typically not be one. My girlfriend and I always had a hard time communicating, and I bought this book as a way for us to talk. The questions would branch off into so many other questions. What I got out of it in this instance was well worth the price paid.I would highly suggest anyone who can read to purchase this book.

Others question book are imitations of this one

If you could wake up tomorrow having acquired any skill or trait, what would it be?Would you like to know the precise date of your death?Questions like this ........................ make this book worth owning. I have 3 copies. I use it for long road trips by myself or with friends. (I have a first-run 10 year old copy in the glove box) Also acts as a great way to steer those lunchtime co-worker conversations from company politics to something more interesting.The companion Book of Questions About Love and Sex is a must-have. The Kids Book of Questions is not worth the ... price tag.

A relationship builder

I'm in my forties and several months ago I met a great man who introduced this book early on in our relationship. We have committed time to reading and answering questions with each other so we have been able to get to know each other much faster and deeper than many people in relationships. And when you're in your forties, you don't have the luxury of time to do this! I've given the book to all my friends- single and married. Try it! And actively use the one on Love and Sex. It's well worth the price!

A Crowd Pleaser

I teach high school special ed and my kids love when I ask them questions from this book. It gives them an opportunity to discuss issues that may otherwise not come up. As a teacher, it can give you great insight into your kids and allows a higher order of thinking. It creates a relaxing atmosphere and no one is wrong! CAUTION: Use discretion. I censor many of the questions or substitute to make it age-appropriate.
