Disappointing

Revisado: 05-11-21

Very disappointing. Since this was in book form and not in a deck of cards, I had hoped to learn something. Alas, by failing to provide any context, you present little more than loose—and mostly useless—facts. Examples: XXX was the first British PM to win the Nobel Prize. When and for what? XXX was the longest-serving British PM. What were his dates? (1800’s? 1900’s? 1600’s?) XXX won the first World Cup. When? (Has the World Cup been played to 50 years? 100 years? 75 years)? Same with the first rugby world tournament. Some of your questions are incorrectly stated. Example: The first time you ask “How many presidents were killed in office?” When you repeat the question, it has become, “How many presidents died in office?” The answers to these two questions are different. Sometimes you mislead the reader. When asking which monarch served the longest, you include Europe; but when you ask for the youngest monarch, you limit the answer to England (Britain). The result is a book of trivia—which, admittedly, is what it is titled. With just a few more words in many answers, however, you could have made it a learning—and thus for some readers, a more enjoyable—experience.
