      Every wonder why silent farts are more deadly? Wonder no longer- the answers are here. Very light and entertaining answers to science's most non-pressing questions.
    • 4/5
      Quirky, strange, odd-ball

      Fun, funny and just plain quirky. Tons of pics, which makes for painfully slow scrolling when reading on Adobe. Content is interesting and really fun.
    • 4/5
      Science is fun. Books like this make it more fun. Careful though, not everything here is for delicate ears. There, that should entice you to have a look. Good.
    • 5/5
      A fun book that had me chuckling as much to the goofy illustrations as some of the written content. Serious science can be, well serious and not entertaining reading often. This book switches gears and takes on some of the imponderables of everyday life such as are silent farts more deadly. Practical things such as this that pack the book make in a light and entertaining read and had me zipping through the pages to get on to the next enlightening topic.
    • 3/5
      A good, very quick, easy, fun to read informative book. Basically their YouTube series in book format. I love their YouTube series so I picked this up at the Hershey Library (been wanting to read it), but most of whats been covered is stuff they've covered in their YT series.

      I want to like this more than I should, but, its just 'eh' and 'mediocre', despite the drawings, despite the informal attitude, and despite the knowledge presented. Its just 'there'.

      Definitely check out their YouTube channel though. Their weekly Thursday videos are (usually) great.
