WorstCase Scenario Sticky Situation Notes David Borgenicht Joshua Piven 9780811840828 Books Reviews
- This book is great for kids because it has lots of fun pictures to go with the topics, and it's also great for adults because it has lots of fun pictures to go with the topics. Hehe!
If you've ever wanted to know the best way to escape quick sand, you'll finally know after reading this book. It's comical at times, frank at others, and all around light reading.
I gave a couple copies away at Christmas this year (to the boys in my family) and EVERYONE was pawing at it before the nights end, wanting to learn the most efficient ways to survive this thing called life... when you happen to be stuck out on your own in the African bush or somewhere similar. ;)
Really - a fun gift for someone you may not know too well, and a great gift for the youthful bunch in your own family. I recommend! - I love it when I can find something for everyone, this book was the gift for all of the guys on my Christmas list one year well over a decade ago and everyone loved it! In fact, my brothers, uncles, and coursins quote it all the time and it's such a fun reference that when someone becomes 'part of the group' or 'part of the family' or 'of age' they receive a copy as a Christmas gift, it has become a very funny, tongue-in-cheek right of passage. All the guys consider themselves part of a club based on their copy )
- I ordered this book for my after having seen it around for years. I enjoy non-fiction books like this and this did not disappoint. As you read you can see how Man vs. Wild derived from it, although the book could use a little more levity; I found it a little dry in that regard. As I read it I wondered whether, if faced with these situations, I'd be able to remember and apply what the book describes. In that sense it gets your heart pumping a little as you visualize yourself in these situations. I think this is a great gift book for a guy; not terribly expensive, an easy read, entertaining.
- This book is hilarious and just academic enough to actually provide useful information to an incoming (or current) college student. It gives advice, along with graphics, on everything on how to make t-shirt curtains to writing a last minute paper. I purchased it for a high school grad and can't wait to gift it!
- I bought this book for my son for Christmas. He is 10 and his favorite TV show is the Deadliest Warrior. He likes the survival shows as well as Mythbusters. This book is right up his alley. He has showed me many tricks he learned from it. He recently took it camping with him. It is a good fun book to get kids reading who might not otherwise pick up a book, but it is also interesting to me. I enjoy reading through it as well. I think it would work well for a gift for people of all ages. I gave it five stars because it is exactly what it says it is, and I am very satisfied in in. Great value and great gift.
- Great book and fun to read, or just skim through it. It makes a great gift too. Real life scenarios, that most likely you will never use, but IĆ¢€™m sure you will be glad you read it, Just in case.
- I am not sure how this happened. Maybe in stow or pick or packing but there was damage to the book and it is a Christmas gift. So a bit disappointed in how my package was handled
- I must say - I got a big kick out of this book. While I don't question its credibility (the authors name all of their sources (experts in their respective fields) in the back of the book) I had a hard time not laughing at some of the instructions. Even if I never use any of the instructions in the book, it will be worth the money I paid for the laughs I got.
It is also very interesting. A lot of the situations are those one would expect to find in your typical action movie. To compare how this book says to execute a maneuver and how they are executed on TV or in a movie is interesting.
If you're an outdoorsman, a computer scientist, a homemaker, or a person who knows how to read and has a sense of humor, I would recommend this book as something to at least skim over sometime.
