Prijemná útla knižočka plná užitočných rád, aj keď niektoré nie sú aplikovateľné na SK. Je vidno, že bolo čerpané z amerického originálu. A samozrejme, je trošku outdated (1999).

Prijemné na pobavenie, niektoré state po čitateľovi mrkli humorom. Inak asi mierne sklamanie. A ten záver je taký, že ach jaj...ale možno to má niekde pokračovanie, alebo ho autor aspoň zamýšľal?!

Pravda, je to trošku "outdated" (2001), ale hlavne druhá časť Nerozumu, kde sa popisujú rôzne historické omyly, objavy, osobnosti a zaujímavosti ma nesmierne bavila. Tá prvá časť o rôznych trikov a kanadských žartíkoch ani moc nie. ...more
