Review: Best Kindle quiz books ever

The INQUIZITIVE books are the best quiz books available for Kindle.  This is the third one I've enjoyed.  What is different about them that the other quiz books don't have?  A lot.  Each question is an entire paragraph.  You read it slowly, as each sentence reveals more clues.  Many times--most of the time--you won't know the answer when you start reading, but as you put on your thinking cap, you'll figure out the answer much of the time.  The hints are subtle.  You'll have to think about where the event took place, what are the initials in the name?  What time period is in the hint.  You'll have an "aha moment."  Even if you don't discern the answer, you'll still enjoy and learn when you give in and read the answer.  It's very obvious that the author puts time into research and writing the questions.  This is definitely not one of those slapped together, make a quick buck, trivia quiz books that are all too common in the Kindle format.  Another seemingly small thing that makes this book more enjoyable is the arrangement of the questions and answers.  In some books the answer immediately follows the question, making it too easy to accidentally see the answer.  In other books, you'll have ten or twenty questions, then you flip back to an answer section.  Generally, you have forgotten the questions, and you end up flipping back and forth--which is a little complicated on an ereader.  In this book, you have five questions.  Then in the answer section, the author reprints the questions, followed by the answers.  No need to flip around to remind yourself of the questions.  Simple, but brilliant.  I love this quiz series, and can barely wait for volume four
