My step-grandmother came over last month and gave us a couple books. This one I started reading and fell in love with. I loved this book so much. It was an awesome concoction of questions I would think of throughout the day. You would probably like this book if you are one of the following: A science lover A sports lover Anyone else. If you really like this book, I would recommend Geek Physics. The book also had a sarcastic humor to it. The drawings were hilarious and the questions were crazy. This is a definite 5 star for me.

A little bit slow and boring at first, but it gets interesting in the middle, and then gets boring again. The book is full of information mostly the public doesn't know about (In essence, a lot of technical words). As a result, it gets overwhelming and not fun to read. The graphics sometimes helps, yet it sometimes mess you up.

Randall Munroe, author of the popular comic strip xkcd takes on reader questions about the likely physical consequences of scenarios that are excluded by practicality but not by the fundamental laws of physics. (Think a fast ball moving at near the speed of light.) If that sounds as interesting to you as it was for me then please do yourself a favor and read this book (or at least check out the sample. :) (it's free!))
