767 Sports Questions Your Friend Can't Answer by Acro Staff

I read the book, 767 Sports Questions Your Friend Can't Answer, to gain more knowledge on the history of my favorite sports. This book has sports such as Baseball, basketball, football, tennis, hockey and more. The format of the book is very simple. There are chapters pertaining to each category (basketball, baseball, etc.). There is a list of multiple choice questions in each chapter about the history of the sport, important records or players that played it. Then, at the end of the chapter, the answer key is there with the answer to the question. With the answer to the question comes a paragraph long description about the answer and other accomplishments or players relating to the question.
I chose this book because it is a quick and easier read that you can have fun while reading. Even though this book seems easy, if you read through the answer key, you learn many new statistics and facts. This nonfiction book is good for any sports fan or nonfiction reader. In conclusion, if you are looking for an easy trivia book, that's fun and very easy, you might want to read, 767 Sports Questions Your Friend Can't Answer. ~John S. (per. 2)

  1. This seems like a book that I would like to read. I love sports and I think it would be cool to test my knowledge of them. In addition, it would be cool to learn new things about my favorite sports. I would like to know how difficult are the questions?

  2. To answer your question, it is split right down the middle. Even for a sports enthusiast like yourself, some questions are about times before you were born. Also, some are quite easy, like questions on the rules of the sport. The questions range from how the sport was made, to records in it, to rules about it.

  3. Reading the summary of this book, I am getting more and more interested. While it's informative, it's still enjoyable because you are learning about something that you like. I would love to read this book to find out more information on basketball. Does this book have to be read in a certain order or can you flip through the different chapters?

  4. This seems like a great book that I would definently be interested in reading. I am always eager to learn interesting and new facts about different sports, and this book can obviously do that. I have played baseball, basketball, soccer, and volleyball, so I think I could probably answer some of the questions. How long is the whole book (how many pages), and what specific sports does the book talk about? - Adrian Bermudez (Period 3)
