I actually really liked this book. I think this book is directed toward a younger audience, but I enjoyed it. My roommate and I went through and tried to answer all of the questions. It was super interesting the things we remembered about science and the things we didn't. It was a short read, enjoyable, and it explained all the concepts well. I'd recommend it if you want to brush up on some basic science skills in a casual way. My roommate liked the book too because it made her feel better about herself for knowing most of the answers. Give it a try.

This was very interesting and informative. Also, I am very glad these questions were not on my tests. I would have failed. Miserably. Slaying the info though. Very much adored the ology comic!

A very quick and entertaining read. A nice book to read and refresh your memory on things that you may or may not have forgotten in the world of science. Great to take on short road trips with the family or just to have something educational to read before going to bed. It also lists some internet sites in the back of the book that are science related.
