Murphy’s Law 2000 brings the rule that “everything that can go wrong will go wrong” to the 21st century.

This is a little book of intelligent and witty humour, presenting laws that are comically realistic and that we (unfortunately!) face every day – for example, Thorson’s Law: “The greater the emergency, the lower the charge in your cell phone battery”.

I am sure fans of good humour will enjoy this book.

Funny, full with "laws" nobody dares to say in written form.

Tras petarlo fuerte con La Ley de Murphy, Bloch sacó unos cuantos libros más del mismo palo, que a mí, personalmente, me siguieron gustando. Tras la apariencia absurda y humorística se esconden muchas veces observaciones bastante bien dirigidas sobre la naturaleza humana.

El problema de las personas que no tienen vicios es que puedes estar seguro de que tienen virtudes bastante irritantes.
Un buen eslogan derrota a una buena solución.

Divertido, refrescante e ingenioso!

Muitas das leis além de cómicas são verdadeiras e dizem respeito à vida quotidiana o que é surpreendente.
