Inverne's Stage and Screen Trivia

by James Inverne

This is a dangerous book. It has no table of contents and no obvious organizing principle. That means you don't know what you'll encounter on any page and you won't be able to stop wondering what surprises are lurking on the next. Hours later you'll probably still be turning pages because every one of these pages overflows with irresistible information. Where else will you find, within one

I very much enjoyed this, being a huge fan of movies / theatre myself.
Full from beginning to end with thousands of facts and interesting bits and pieces all relating to the world of tv, the theatre and the movies.
This a must for any film buff and just people generally interested in random trivia.
Also handy for boning up on quizzes.
Overall a wonderful read and I was amazed at the amount of knowledge I gained.

I enjoyed browsing the trivia in this book, and found out a lot of things I didn't know before as well as revisiting many old favourites. I did spot a couple of mistakes though: there's a 'Star Wars Family Trees' entry (p131) which has Han Solo down as 'Hans', and doesn't have Luke Skywalker and Princess Leia as brother and sister, which is quite a basic error.
