Books : "Are You Smarter Than a 10 Year Old?" .
Rating: 
- Uninspired TV cash-in. Buy a real quiz book instead.
I've never seen the show, but I'd guess that most people thinking about buying this would be its fans, who won't need me to tell them about the show anyway.I hope the TV show provides a little more entertainment value than the book.
In the book the questions are arranged in 41 rounds. Each round begins with questions which a 6 year old should know the answer to, rising to the dizzy heights of questions which a ten year old should know the answer to. The questions are, as you'd expect, extremely straightforward, and lets be honest, easy. That's OK as long as its what you're looking for. I am staging a Mastermind-type competition for children at my school, and this will be helpful in putting together the General Knowledge round.
That's the only reason why I bought it, though. It's a very average TV cash-in, and I can't see that its particularly good value. Claims have been made that there are over 800 questions in the book, which is really nothing to write home about compared with other books of the genre. However there are 41 rounds, and each round comprises of only 11 questions. That's only 451, unless I've miscounted. Even a ten year old could tell you that. Its produced in the ubiquitous - Who Wants To Be A Millionaire - multiple choice format, and the look of each page is rather dull and uninviting.
It's the kind of thing I suppose you might buy for a bit of fun with your family, but its really kids stuff, and not for the adult quizzer at all. Give it a miss.
