review 1: Peter Bentley transforms his reader into the subject of a disastrous series of events accompanied by an extensive array of pertinent facts and related history. He presents a wide range of interesting science topics while using his captivating story-telling skills to guide the reader through the epitome of a "really bad day" scenario. The mishaps in all thirty-nine chapters are woven together to form a tapestry with which the author uses to embed the science behind the hapless victim's experience. For the science buff well versed in introductory physics and chemistry much of this title will prove to be review material. However, regardless of the audience, Why Sh*t Happens: The Science of a Really Bad Day is sure to captivate anyone's attention with its clever, sometimes gro... moress, and often times humorous observations about our physical world.
review 2: This would be a great book if you are just looking for a fun book that gives you some facts about some common mishaps. It has some interesting facts in it, but it does not delve very deep on the concepts it introduces. If you are really into science it is probably not the book you want.It is a relatively interesting non-fiction book though and if non-fiction is not a genre you delve into frequently it may be a book to pick up. less
