Eh. More of an extended article. Slightly funny but nothing to write home about.

It was interesting and had some definitely funny moments.

Laughed to the point of tears on the first page, I will not say why. I do have one quibble. In a quiz where you rank events in the order in which they happened, she has hot pants before the wedding of Tiny Tim and Miss Vicki. I had them reversed, and I think I am right. Tiny Tim's wedding was in 12/69...the term "hot pants" was first used in a fashion magazine, according to Wiki, in 1970. My driver's ed teacher called me "Jezebel" for wearing hot pants, wouldn't he get fired for that now?

I was intrigued after reading an NPR review of this book and because I've been feeling pretty stupid lately anyway. There's some interesting brain facts, but this is mostly Marx's humor and sarcasm on display. Which is why the CIP is PN6231, amirite?

A quick read, unique, and very fun. The quizzes were fun to do with friends.

All over the place! Could not sink into any of what Marx was trying to get across as one was constantly pulled into little nonsense games and riddles

This was quite funny and entertaining, if a bit pointless.

This book was trying to be both funny and engagingly informative and did not do a particularly good job of either.

I laughed out loud a lot, read snippets to whoever was around, and learned things, too.
