review 1: This is a fascinating book which is entertainingly written. This is a book which just proves the adage, "Don't judge a book by its cover." An appalling cover hides a book full of fascinating anecdotes, intriguing historical snippets and a celebration of a group of relatively unknown scientists and their gift to humanity.From cholera and smallpox to poison gas and breaking the sound barrier, humans have experimented on themselves to further the cause of science. This book takes a selection of these men (and women) and follows their incredible journeys. This is a well written, entertaining (although at times the humour wears a little thin), and well constructed book. Just ignore the cover.
review 2: This book is great. If only you are a little bit intereste... mored in science, medicine or just people pushing themselves to various limits, go for it. I didn't expect much, but enjoyed it all the way and now it makes me want read more about some of those stories. Parts are really funny too :) So it's a good book to read if there's a even tiny bit of curiosity about life in you. And it's perfectly balanced - not too scholar and not to simple. Enjoy! less
