"You built a time machine ... out of a DeLorean?!?"
The film that launched then-teenager Michael J Fox to superstardom, as the time-travelling Marty McFly who finds himself back in 1955 and inadvertently jeopardising his own existence when he interferes in his teenage parents first meeting.

The film also co-stars Christopher Lloyd as the mad eyed scientist Doc Brown (who invented the time machine, which originally (as a bit of trivia) was going to be immobile until the makers decided that might be too dangerous, with kids climbing in and getting struck in fridges), although it never quite explains how an adult came to be such close friends with a teenager!

A highly entertaining party game
It's not often that you find a fun trivia game that isn't actually based on what you know, but 8 out of 10 cats really pulls it off.

It manages to replicate the tv show in an easily understandable and fun format, that can be played by all the family. It's not reliant on how smart you are but rather concentrates on your opinions and common sense. It's a great party game to play with multiple teams, it involves everyone and it isn't very long either. The final round (to complete before you are crowned the winner) is quite difficult, but thankfully not enough to make you want to give up in exasperation. Such a fun game.

Kinda lame
Same book, different name
I didn't hate it. The big reveal was a huge letdown for me, and IMHO, would not have caused a huge crisis for religious leaders. The killer was fairly obvious to me, also. That was super disappointing for me because I love a good twist, but this one didn't have it. Also, the whole mess with the royal family (aside from the touching scene at the end with the bishop) seemed kind of messy and superfluous.
Honestly, I haven't loved these last 2 Dan Brown books. The trivia and puzzles are great, and I love "accidentally" learning new things, but perhaps the same old, same old formula is wearing on me.
