Book Reviews of Why Do Men Have Nipples? Hundreds of Questions You'd Only Ask a Doctor After Your Third Martini
Book Review: Interesting, but obvious at times...
Summary: 4 Stars
I bought this book feeling i might find the answer to some of life's querkiest questions, and was not completely disappointed. However, some of the facts are pretty obvious, and at times the book becomes a little tedious.A large positive is the witty humour, and the ongoing commentry from Leyner and Goldberg brings a smile to your face. They seem to have a strange friendship, two very similar personalities living entirely different lives. A book that will stay in the bathroom to let house guests skim through.Book Review: Fabulous!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
This book really is wonderful. It gives you real scientific answers, so some of the text isn't easy to understand unless you have basic scientific knowledge, but it's as hilarious as it is factual. It answers questions people have wondered for ages, but never asked a doctor, just as it says in the title. Well worth a read. Highly recommended.Book Review: Not All Facts Correct
Summary: 3 Stars
Sorry to be a pedant but one fact in this book is incorrect:The authors claim that wet or cold weather does not cause a cold.
Ronald Eccles, Ph.D., D.Sc., of Cardiff University said the results of a randomized study reported in the FAMILY PRACTICE JOURNAL bear out a two-pronged hypothesis: that many of us carry around a subclinical cold infection and that chilling the feet opens the door for it to become a full-blown cold.
Book Review: Not bad!
Summary: 4 Stars
Some funny parts to this book but there are parts too which were not that interesting really. Worth a look though, particuarly for the humour.Book Review: A good idea ruined
Summary: 1 Stars
Have to disagree with the other reviewers - it's the unnecessary, self congratulatory, trying-far-too-hard "humour" that forced me to put this book down before I'd barely got past the first chapter. When the writers eventually stop talking about what wacky characters they both are and realise there's a question to be answered, the answer is normally so short as to be pointless. In the right hands (think Bryson), it could have been entertaining, but this is utterly tedious.
