A masterful collection of mindboggling questions guaranteed to have bibliophiles wracking their brains. This engaging and stimulating book of quizzes will test readers' knowledge of classic and contemporary literature. From Charlotte Bront to Chinua Achebe, hidden double entendres to famous opening lines, Who Killed Iago? runs the gamut and challenges even the most avid readers. Readers can flex their literary muscle with questions such as: ? In Pride and Prejudice, what is Mr. Darcy's first name? ? Which classic novel of the Second World War begins: "It was love at first sight"? ? In Chaucer's Canterbury Tales, how many times has the Wife of Bath been married? ? In the Harry Potter novels, what are the first four names of Professor Dumbledore? ? In Othello, who kills Iago?
I bought this book for some friends of mine who know everything - the book lists lots of questions, which i found impossibly hard but my friends knew many of the answers. it would work best with someone who is very well read, otherwise i imagine it would be frustrating. the questions are pure knowledge - who did this, where was that. they are not puzzles that you can figure out by logic.
