Instead of opposites, maybe say antonyms instead, because not all of the clues are direct opposites. Nice idea for a quiz, though.

Cute, though I don't think "head" for "tale" is really fair play.

"You" isn't really an antonym for "we". I think "they" would work better.

Took me a second to realize that the opposite of "A Hello from Legs" was probably not "A Goodbye to Hands." I had a brief moment where I wondered what on earth kind of title for a book that was. And then I felt stupid...lol

"Noon's Parents" would work better than "Noon's Adults", I suspect...

Nightmare isn't even close to being an antonym for Paradise.

One of the few "opposite quizzes" on this site where the creator actually knows what the word "opposite" means. Bravo.

I think I would actually like to read "The Clothed and the Alive," "A Hello from Legs" and maybe a kids' book named "Turtle, Walk."

I love "Peace and War". I was being stupid and kept reading secular as "seconday", and I didnt think that "Primary Comedy" was the name of any book I'd ever heard of. :) I also loved "Turtle, walk". Good job.

@JayHankEdLyon: I enjoy these quizzes regardless, but no, a lot of these aren't opposites either. A lot of these don't even have opposites in the truest sense of the word. Friend. Window. You could just as easily say Enemy or Wall.

Why is there an asterisk at the top with the note "In this case, the term antonym is used somewhat loosely...go with it!" ...in WHICH case?

I'm just saying it's far more often than not an actual antonym. I think a better opposite of "stranger" is "acquaintance" and a better opposite for "door" is, as you said, "wall", because doors are made to bring two spaces together and walls are made to keep two spaces apart. But you can't deny that this quiz is excellent compared to other "opposite quizzes" on this site.

Would love to see "The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe" attempted on a sequel. Love these quizzes!

Tough or hard might be a better antonym for tender. To me, rough goes more with smooth.
