An essential for anyone running a pub quiz since this book has done all the work for you! The questions are set into three categories of easy, medium and hard (although even the easy ones are challenging enough for a good quiz) and contain picture rounds as well. There are over 10,000 questions so no chance of running out any time soon and the answers are not directly under the questions so the quizmaster can also take part, especially if you’re playing at home. This is a great book to really test the brain cells and perfect for anyone who takes their quizzing seriously.

Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for an advance copy in return for an honest review.

Really good book, laid out very well. I’m not sure why the answers are situated where they are, randomly put in different places in the book, but can only assume it’s so the quizmaster gets to join in the quiz too, without accidentally seeing the answers, in which case it works quite well. It’s sectioned into difficulty levels, and further into topics, so you can easily select a section which works for your group. Great book I’d happily recommend for any quizmaster, or even just something to do on car journeys

The Collins Pub Quiz book contains 500 quizzes which equates to over 10,000 questions including picture questions. I liked that the book is split into three distinct difficulty levels: easy, medium and hard so that you can tailor the quiz to the situation or test yourself as you work through the book if you prefer. The layout was very clear and I liked that at the top of each quiz it tells you were the answers are located. I thought it was great that the answers weren't on the same page as the questions as it takes away any temptation to cheat by peeking at the answers. Due to the sheer number of quizzes in this book, there are plenty of different categories covered so if you were to use this to host a pub quiz/quiz night you would be able to tailor it to the people participating.

I did find some of the 'easy' questions to be quite difficult so I'm not sure how much of this book I would be able to work through however I think if you were working in a team and had other people who could fill any gaps in your knowledge the questions in this book could be used.

Overall I liked the variety of questions and the clear formatting of the book however I found the difficulty level of the easy questions to be slightly too difficult.
