Excellent!

This book is a wonderful test of your grey cells. The only problem I found was that I personally thought the scoring was set a bit high. All in all, it is a feast for the mind.

Very appropriate title!!

This is a different kind of quiz book. And it is fun too. For every alphabet (almost every as some alphabets are combined together like J and K) there are 50 questions and their answer word(s) begins with that alphabet. So you know that the answer word(s) begin with A or B or ... before even reading the question!Positives:1> The questions are very varied ranging from movie stars to plain scientific knowledge.<br>2> The level of questions is also varied so you will always be able to get some right and not feel frustrated :)<br>3> All questions have 1, 2 or 3 (rare) word answers.<p>Negatives:<br>1> The questions on people, movies and television are old and concentrated in the 1975-85 range which makes them more difficult than they really are.<br>2> A distinctly large number of questions are focussed towards US, but maybe that is intended.<p>All in all a very good and enjoyable book which fully justifies its title. It really gets you a feel of how "literate" you are. And literacy is indeed different from the ability to read and write.
