Okay boomer, are you ready to get out of your chair, challenge your mind, and have some fun in the process? If so, then open up the pages of I Remember That! - Captivating Stories, Interesting Facts and Fun Trivia for Seniors, and embark on this epic trivia challenge that was written specifically for your generation.

You’ll take an engaging stroll down memory lane to test just how much you remember from the biggest moments in history, pop culture, and science from the first four decades after World War II.

But if you’re not a boomer, don’t worry, you’ll also have fun playing along.

There’s really no right or wrong way to read I Remember That!, but just remember to have fun!

In this book you will find out the answers to some of these questions:

How did the internet go from a military project to the universities in the 1980s?
When did Elvis Presley perform on the Ed Sullivan Show?
What ever happened to 8-track tapes?
Who was Lewis Urry and what did he have to do with flashlights and portable radios?
How and when did the Berlin Wall go up?

I Remember That! is divided into four chapters for each decade, with each chapter divided into subsections of history, pop culture, and science.

At the end of each subsection is a ten-question quiz that you can play with your friends and family. There is also a “Did You Know?” page at the end of each subsection that adds a few more interesting tidbits to the subject.

So, what are you waiting for? Open the book up and see what you remember about the world you grew up in!

This book is printed in a larger font size.

‘Who was the lead actor in The Ten Commandments and Ben-Hur?' - Charlton Heston!

Reviewed in the United States on June 16, 2021

Author Bill O’Neill has authored many books on Trivia and has become an expert in this field! His topics include movies, football, baseball, wars, rock music, simply random trivia facts and US States. Now with a nod to Senior Citizens, providing interesting reading material while passing the time at home, Bill provides ‘brain ticklers’ to challenge the at times ebbing memory range that accompanies aging with stories, facts, trivia and quizzes about that past – hoping we’ll be able to ‘Remember That!’

If you’re in the ‘senior’ line this fun book will provide endless hours of both memory regeneration and some new facts perhaps never known. It all has to do with the first four decades after WW II (1950 – 1980) aka the Baby Boomer years, and Bill addresses this in his opening comments: ‘For many of you reading this, those were your “glory years” when you were attending sock hops, getting groovy, or becoming a wolf on Wall Street. Yes, for many of the Baby Boomer generation, these were the greatest years for many different reasons. You probably remember how scared you felt during the Cuban Missile Crisis, or how you were baffled when you first heard about the Internet. Were you an expert with the hula hoop? What was your favorite sitcom of the 1970s? Did you wait in a long line to see the first installment of the Star Wars franchise in 1977?...Whether you were a kid growing up in the 50s, a college student in the 60s and 70s or trying to take over the financial world in the 80s, there’s something in this book for you.’ With that friendly invitation, the fun – and challenges – begin!

The book devotes a chapter to each of the four decades mentioned, and each chapter covers history, pop culture, and science, ending with a quiz to make sure we ‘got it’ and a ‘Did You Know’ section to add to the facts and trivia foundation. For example, the 1950s chapter includes info on the Korean War, ‘I Like Ike’, Chairman Mao, Elvis Presley, Ben-Hur, baseball in California, Barbie dolls, slinkies Jukeboxes, Sputnik, defeating polio – lots of tidbits of information that not only blink at memories but bonk our intelligence, the result being a challenging but very fun experience.

Not only is the book entertaining – it is also very instructive. For those familiar with Bill O’Neill’s talent for tickling the brain, this book is a must read – one of his best. For those who are simply looking for solid entertaining reading to while away the hours, welcome to the field expert! Highly recommended – especially during these times… Grady Harp, June 21

This Is An Interesting Book.

Reviewed in the United States on June 17, 2021

Verified Purchase

I already knew a lot of the information that was mentioned in this book before reading this book because I lived through many of the time eras mentioned in this book. Some of the interesting information that is mentioned in this book include the following information: In 1964, only 3% of U.S. households had color televisions. In 1972, more than 50% of U.S. households had color televisions. The effective defeat of polio was utterly amazing. Many countries in the world easily bypassed the 8 tracks technology and went straight from LPs to cassettes. The American League St. Louis Browns moved to Baltimore in 1954 and became the Baltimore Orioles. For those people who lived through the time periods mentioned in this book, the book will bring back some memories. For the currently young people who did not live through many of the time eras mentioned in this book, they could learn some information that they may have not known before reading this book.

So much fun!

Although I am a late baby boomer, born in 1961, this book was so much fun to read. I learned so many new facts, and confirmed some things that I have been curious about for many many years. I love Bill’s series of books, and can’t wait for the next one.

The best trivia book of Bill's so far

Reviewed in the United States on July 9, 2021

Verified Purchase

This book is so much fun to read and I think this is the best Bill has written and I have read more than a few. This is the first book that comes with quizzes (love that!). If you read every word or if you are truly knowlegeable and have good memory, you will ace these fun quizzes no doubt. This book walks you down the memory lane from the 50s and on. It touches on many different topics, politics, pop culture (my favorite), medical fields, sports, science. Half of these forementioned happenings were before my time but I have known/heard about them just the same. Bill as usual, always presents history from such an interesting angle and nobody will get bored by his writings. Read this, and do the quizzes. Great Read.

Brilliantl Summary of Important events in our lives

Reviewed in the United States on June 17, 2021

Verified Purchase

Bill Oneill has wrtten an accurately researched consice history of events through most of our adult life.Real data, little opnion, no political bias. I did not know how close we came to nuclear war with the russians in 1983!! Or the background of the Iron Lady, or how lucky the US was to have Regan president at that time. How forming Amtrac reduced passqnger service. Or which world leaders wore avator sun glasses. One minor omission of the late 1960's was the 1969 Woodstock Festival. It would be great to have ONeils analysis of whycWoodstok was not held in woidstock, the signifigance of the event in bringing some peqce at a difficult time, the beajtiful presentation of Joan Beaz. And further its role in providing the little yeloow bird in the Charlie Brown Cartoon which forecast much of the present US senate and house. A senate led by a Chuck with the same first name as Charlie, a shiffty Sentator that looks like Charlie , a house led by a lady like Charlies girl that holds his football. A dusty little friend not unlike Senate minority leader. And a president that wears aviator mirror sun glasses and wants to spend tax payers money revising Amtrac.!!

A Lot of Good Memories For Older Folks and Background For Younger Ones

Reviewed in the United States on June 20, 2021

Verified Purchase

There was very little and older person might not know in this book but it brought back many old memories. Also it provides a good background for younger people.

Was not aware of some of the things (Ten Comandments coming before Ben Hur and that Kruschev being forced by his party to be more tough).

Overall a lot of good information broken down by categories and even having quizzes at the end of each chapter.

This was a fun read. It brought back a lot of memories. some that I had forgotten about and in a couple it filled in things I did not know. These books are a pleasant way to while away the hours, but then again I really only read history books.

I don't do book reviews

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on June 25, 2021

Verified Purchase

I don't do book reviews like you keep seeing, as I find that some give too much of the plot away and I personally hate that, as it makes the book not worth reading. I much prefer to take the authors back cover write up as a review as it can either intrigue you enough to read the book of provide you enough information to make you decide that the book is not for you.
My review rules are: The more stars, the more I liked it.
If there are too many typos or errors the less stars I give
If the storyline or plot is poor or contains too many errors, the characters are too weak, the ending lacking something, then the less stars I give.
Simple, uncomplicated and to the point without giving anything away.
Some of the books I read have been given to me by the author as a pre-release copy and this does not bias my reviews in any way.
