It is cute, sometimes glib and very occasionally interesting. But in the end this book will tweak your neurons rather than put you through a strenuous exercise of the synapses, give you good 30-second conversation pieces, allow you to drop a few names, and come away with the thought, ‘Who knows what knowledge is about anyway’? The Knowledge Quotient discussed very tantalisingly briefly towards the end might set you thinking how it could be measured. But since all students like to think they have more of a sense of humour than their teachers, I’ll recommend this book. Even when the puns do not rise above college fare, at least the questions are interesting.
