Four stars ⭐⭐⭐⭐

My thoughts:

Here are over 500 trivia questions for either doing on one’s own, or using as the basis for a quiz night. The questions are organized by decade, beginning in the 1950’s and going through the 1980’s. The photos throughout give this title a nostalgic feel.

Each section begins with a brief introduction to the decade. Then the questions that follow are organized by topic, as for example, That’s Entertainment, A Moment in History, and Everyday Life.

This book will offer a non-stressful challenge to its audience while challenging recall of the trivia facts that the reader has stored up over the years.

I recommend this title to its intended audience. It could make a good gift that leads to discussion.

Many thanks to Zeitgeist for this title. All thoughts are my own.
