I really enjoyed this book, it definitely appealed to my curious side, to the part of my personality that thinks about things and asks myself questions that I don’t have answers for, the part that loves lists, trivia and enjoys interesting discussions and debates.
This book isn’t for everyone. It would make an interesting coffee table book, or be used as a discussion starter at a dinner party or an evening with friends. Or if you’re anything like me you will just enjoy it, full stop.
My thanks to NetGalley, the publisher and the author for allowing me to read this book in return for an honest review.
A great conversation starter, this book poses questions and identifies thought provoking issues. If you are a fan of “what if” and “would you rather” ponderings, this will appeal. It’s a pretty niche market, though, so important people know what they are getting when they pick it up. I thought it was really interesting and a clever idea.
I'm trying to review this book for what it is.
This isn't a book you read. Its a quirky list of questions to start discussions, with some cute footnotes that add or distract from the questions, depending on your personality.
In a Top 100 list, not everyone will agree with all Top 100. Some of the Top 100 Rock Songs are trash, to me and my opinions. This book will of course suffer from the same issue. Most of the questions are good, some are throwaway attempts at humor, some are so specific they don't apply to everyone, this is just the nature of lists. That's not a bad thing because some of the questions I don't like will be your favorites.
I recommend this book as something to pick up, as your friend/spouse/roommate (all three?) a question and then start talking for awhile. Would be good for a dinner party or drinking on a weekday.
