  • You’ll either like it or hate it
This book can be used with a table game of the same name. Some of our grown family members think certain answers to choose from are ridiculous and not worse their time to play the game. I admit some answers are totally goofy. However, I think it’s a great game to use with kids. It can be used as a fun teaching lesson on many different topics. The creator of the game definitely has a sense of humor. I think homeschoolers could use it and even design some projects based on questions from the game. If nothing else the book could be a funny gag gift for the right person. I think I’ll take mine off the bookcase and have some chuckles of my own. ... show more

  • Fun Reading
I bought this for my adult son as a Christmas gift. I giggled at all of the scenarios and the way it was written was great! He thought it was a great gift and loves to have nonsense knowledge!
