- Reviewed in India on 5 May 2017Verified PurchaseI didn't have much expectations from this book while I was buying it .But I wanted to give it a try because it looked quit thin and thought it might help me with revision.Not only did it help me with revision but helped me with the preparation too.It doesn't overdose you with too much of information (each and every section) and there are some topics that u need to know but not in much detail (like indus valley civilisation and some topics of that sort)so preparing from this book was great.You can carry it in your sling bang and revise whenever you feel the need (while travelling or whatsoever) .Not just there are topics from static gk but some important current affairs.A good book for beginners .But yes ,use mostly for revision only or to get a fair idea as to how can you go about general knowledge
- Reviewed in India on 11 June 2016Verified PurchaseThe book contains several GK topics like Indian History/Geography/Polity/Economy, general sciences - Physics, Chemistry & Biology apart from Current Affairs, Who's Who and the good old GK lists of the firsts, largest, famous etc.
The book is somewhat content-wise rich, with information written in a concise & lucid manner in points and tabular forms. To my surprise, it also contains a few black & white images of good quality print. Overall, the book is very useful for school students to explore and maintain GK.
However, I would not recommend the book for the aspirants of various competitive exams, rather I think they can stick with the Yearbooks with huge amount of higher-order GK. In fact, most of the information in this book are widely across web articles and youtube explainers in much better forms. Except for the ultra-cheap price, there is nothing much attractive to buy this book especially for those smart people having access to Amazon!
- Reviewed in India on 21 October 2016Verified PurchaseThe questions on General Knowledge and current affairs are asked in almost every competitive exam. One needs to be aware of the happenings in his own country as well as the major events happening in the whole world. This version of the book, that is, the 2017 version covers most of the topics on the current affairs till date. The best features of the book are - Names of all the ministers of states and unions. Also, covers like Brexit are covered in the book. It also has sections dedicated to Indian Geography, Indian History, Indian Economy, Science, Computers, major events of the World History and much much more. It's a must buy if you're preparing for any competitive exam where General Knowledge questions are asked. You can consider it an all in one package for last minute preparation!
