 Some great answers in this short book February 2, 2008
A good collection of stupid answers to quiz questions.
Occasionally the right answers are not obvious (and not provided) but mostly the howlers are very funny.
I was at school with Marcus but have not seen him since, but his books are always worth buying.
 Disappointing January 27, 2008
I have really enjoyed reading Marcus Berkmann's books, particularly Brain Men. I was expecting some laugh out loud wrong answers in this book but never really managed anything more than a smile.
Knowing that the author is a very knowledgable man, I suspect that wrong answers he finds funny are not quite so for the less educated of us.
Some are just basically wrong answers and mistakes that quite a few of us would make. Nevertheless its cheap and cheerful!
Great little book December 29, 2007

I always think books like this are perfect for the bath or snuggling up with in an armchair. It is funny, inoffensive and relaxing. It pokes fun at people without being too sour.
There are some corking examples of stupidity here, some answers that defy belief and others that will have you roaring with laughter. And none have appeared in issues of Private Eye - so worry not about reading ones you may have read before.
Dumb Britain is a great idea and there will surely be sequels. Maybe it'll go on to rival the 'Colemanballs' books for longevity...
