The definition of what is trivial is a very loose one, what one person considers trivia is something that others believe to be an historical fact. For example, the number of years that Robert Ray was governor of Iowa is considered by most to be an historical fact rather than a point of trivia.
That minor criticism aside, this is a fun book to read. All of the points are one sentence in length and most of the answers are from 1 to 4 words in length. It is a fast read and one where you can stop at any point and restart later with no loss of context, as all points are independent of their surroundings.
While there is no depth, there is enough breadth so that all readers will find points that will interest them.
