Detailed, entertaining and wonderfully informative, a must-have for quiz aficionados and bibliophiles alike
It's so much fun. The perfect level for keen but not necessarily expert readers. Specific enough to make you reach back into your memory and occasionally kick yourself at not finding the answer, but not so specialised that you want to give up . . . I'll definitely be buying copies of this book as gifts
Few quiz questions make you smile, laugh or gasp. James Walton's always do.The Penguin Book Quizis unceasingly enormous fun
Quite possibly the greatest social lubricant since the invention of alcohol. An absolute delight
Attractively presented in vintage Penguin livery, this is the ultimate literary quiz, packed full of questions on everyone from Dickens to Dahl. With such a broad range of genres and topics covered,The Penguin Book Quizreally is the perfect antidote to tired parlour games and awkward small talk this Christmas
The perfect gift for the sort of person (like me) who shouts the answers at University Challenge
Fiendish, funny and endlessly surprising, James Walton has provided the perfect volume for anyone who loves books, relishes a quiz or just fancies showing off at a dinner party
A must for those who think they know their literature . . . includes the unexpected, alongside the more serious
How nice it would be if the family would sit around the Boxing Day fireside considering the questions in affable competition
