At first glance, American Tax Trivia: The Ultimate Quiz on U.S. Taxation by Mike Kowis may look like a book solely for tax junkies. However, this book was—dare I say—entertaining even for a person like me who uses tax software to do her taxes and has no interest in them beyond that once-a-year torture. This book will not help you score better on any exams you need to pursue to become a CPA. There are plenty of cookie-cutter books out there for that. This book will give you and your friends a nice study break while you work toward that goal. The trivia is neatly divided into topical chapters ranging from famous quotes about taxes to questions about the U.S. tax code. Answers to the trivia questions can be found at the end of each chapter and are written out in a user-friendly format.
I don’t recommend sitting down and planning to read American Tax Trivia from cover to cover as I did. Instead, this book would be better used by teachers of not only tax law but also U.S. history, politics, government, etc. to engage their students, by students in the above subjects who wish to round out their studies or provide much-needed breaks from them, and by people who plan trivia nights or by people, like the author, who work in these areas and want to plan fun get-togethers outside of work. This book will also appeal to general trivia lovers because Mike Kowis has mastered a format they will appreciate. For example, one chapter is dedicated to the tax code, but other chapters include questions about Supreme Court cases, who-said-it quotations, and history, among other topics.
