I downloaded this title as an e-book freebie. Reading it exclusively on my Blackberry while waiting for things, I finished it in about a month. On the one hand, I'm glad I started making use of the time; on the other hand, I'm appalled by how much of my life is wasted on interstices.
The Q&A format was perfect for reading on the bb's tiny screen. The contents were in convenient bite-sized pieces, and there was no plot continuity to worry about.

I was expecting so much more out of this book. Frankly, many of the questions answered I either already had some clue about, or else absolutely could not care less about. Probably a decent bathroom book, nothing more.

Lots of interesting information, but the reader-submitted questions could have used some smoothing over for tone. Some of them came off as weirdly antagonistic, and it was jarring.

This book reminds me of one of my favorite series from years ago, "Why Things Are" by Joel Aachenback. I would highly recommend this for anyone who liked those books or others like them.

This was another Kindle freebie so worth what I paid for it. Actually parts were quite interesting, like a series of essays on obscure subjects.

Nice bite-sized answers to some common questions. I did know a lot of them, but some were new and the book held my interest.

Got this free for my Kindle. It is made up of science questions asked and explained. These come from a newspaper column. It was a very quick read and I learned some new stuff.

Sometimes I just want something light and trivial to read. This served the purpose.

I read this book on my Kindle when I had a few bits of time here and there. Each question is presented followed by a brief answer. A lot of the answers had associated websites provided if you wanted to read more information. I really enjoyed reading about things I never thought of before and those that didn't interest me, I just skipped. Fun to read for those small windows of time. I also picked up another Curious Folks Ask book for the same purpose.

Liked the little stories, but I thought the ebook format wasn't great for the book. This book seems like the type you want in front of you so you can flip around and pick up interesting tidbits at random.
