Rating:  Summary: If you bought this book... Review: ...you would be sure to find out things about yourself you didn't know....you would be sure to please crowds at tables. ...you would be sure to have an enjoyable time with it, alone or in a group. ...you would be sure to spend your money on something worthwhile.
Rating:  Summary: not very thought provoking Review: Based on all the great reviews this book had, I expected to find some stellar, thought-provoking questions. Instead I found some rather ho-hum questions that anyone with a little imagination could come up with. Needless to say, I was very disappointed in this purchase. So if you are looking for creative and entertaining questions that would be fun to ask your friends at a party, save yourself the money and use your own imagination. Trust me, it will probably be better than the questions you'll find in this book.

Rating:  Summary: Best coffee table book Review: I first heard of this book in an English class in High School. Our teacher would pull it out when we had a few minutes to spare. I bought the book short while later and it is the best coffee table book in the world. It is a great conversation piece. It is wonderful for entertaining. It not only provides thought provoking conversation, but is the perfect tool for getting to know your guests on a more intimate level.
Rating:  Summary: Good Coffee Table book Review: I had this book on my coffee table for months. People were always amused when they started thumbing through it. One night the guy I was dating picked it up and it sparked a great conversation that lasted until 3 in the morning.
Rating:  Summary: Soul Searching At Its Finest Review: If you want to learn more about yourself while having fun at the same time, I recommend this book. Some of the questions come up with quick and simple answers, and others will have you thinking for hours. I am going to order every book in this series because I was very impressed with this book!
Rating:  Summary: Great Conversation Starter Review: Let me start off by saying that I would have given this book a 5 out of 5 if it weren't for the fact that the questions get a little repeditive. For example, you'll find questions along the lines of, "If you could have dinner with anyone in history, who would it be?" Sometime after, you might run into, "If you could meet anyone in history, who would it be?" And then just to throw you a curve, you might get asked, "If you could ask one question to anyone in history, who would it be and what would you ask?" You'll find yourself skipping questions since the answers are already known. But now onto the good stuff. I should note that this book is only for those who are into deep conversations. If you'd rather turn on the TV and sit in silence with your friends over talking about deep and meaningful things, you won't like this book. My first experience with this book was with one of my best friends at a three day music festival. In between acts she'd ask me a question or two, and more often than not it would lead into some convesation or story. I never thought a little book would help me learn so much about someone in such a simple manner. Being a music fan, I often get to meet many different bands. Recently I've started buying and giving these books away to bands to help them stay entertained on the road. Besides using them for inspiration, it's a great way for people to learn more about each other. All in all, I'd say give the book a shot. They're cheep, and if you don't like it, I'm sure you'll easily find someone to take it off your hands.

Rating:  Summary: Great for a girls night out! Review: My girlfriends and I just had a slumber party the other night. After many bottles of wine... this book came out. It was the best way to get to know about your friends and having a great time while you're at it. Good for after dinner with friends when you want to sit around and not let the evening end!
Rating:  Summary: Great for Dinner Parties Review: One group of close friends has now gotten into the habit of breaking out this book over dinner. Just like the reviewer who used it for Girls Night Out, we've had a great time with it for Girls AND Boys Night Out. We just have to make sure the kids are in the other room for some of the answers!
