Summary: A humbling experience
Review: I consider myself to be a bit of a trivia buff, from history to TV to music. At least I did before I got this book. Barb Jastrab has assembled a set of "tests" within the book to help you determine whether you are a "player" or a "pretender" in the world of trivia. Once you begin, you can't stop! It's funny, it's enlightening, it's humbling, and it's full of "DUH I should have known that" moments. Challenging and fun, well balanced.I do have one complaint, Ms. Jastrab. You are responsible for eight hangovers this past weekend. Your book and an eggtimer became the fodder for a drinking game of sorts after an otherwise civilized dinner party. Yes, I know better, but it seemed like a good idea at the time. Anyway, at my age, I suffer a bit more than I did in my youth after such foolishness. We have all agreed that next time we do this, we'll play for orange juice. But play again we must! Thanks for a great book and a fun challenge.

Review: Put on your thinking cap and prepare to be challenged on your knowledge of those golden oldies you grew up with. From "Name the Back Up Group" to "Grammatically Incorrect Titles" to "Scrambled Lyrics", you'll rekindle fond memories of your carefree years. Take it to your next party or class reunion. Makes a great present for any boomer.

Summary: Best seller on Oldiesmusic.com two years in a row
Review: There had to be something to all the praise over at Oldiesmusic.com about this book. So I bought it and now I understand. This is one truly different and fun trivia book. You know all those "multiple-guess" (yawn!) trivia books? Thankfully, this isn't like those at all! This one has funny categories and it's actually humorous! There are clever cartoons too that oldies lovers will really appreciate. Just take a look at the cover art, hahaha! Spread the word, this is a super fun book and why it's not available in "real" bookstores is beyond comprehension. My college reunion is coming up and I'll bring this along with my lava lamp and Desiderata poster to set the mood. ;-> Best $... I ever spent on a trivia book, I must say! Hohoho

Summary: The Oldies Music Aptitude Test: Trivia Fun for Armchair DJ's
Review: This is a fun trivia book about the best music during the best music era! Even if you're not an expert (and I'm not) you'll really get a kick out of this book. I brought it with me to a party with other baby boomers and we had a blast!
