[Loveliest Evaris · Rating 2 out of 5]

I ordered this book from my library expecting an "Answer Your Weirdest Yet Intriguing Questions" tell all book with a dash of humor and of course, medically accurate information.

What I didn't expect was a book that frequently interjects with the barrage of questions with senseless and inane drivel in the form of a script between two people whom I will assume are both the author and another collaborator. Seriously, what the hell was that shit? It was stupid and senseless and NOT AT ALL FUNNY. Think of a child who has ADHD, give them a 3-season DVD of SpongeBob SquarePants, then pump that child's brain full of 'adult knowledge' and start 'er up, because what comes out of their faces and printed on the paper in this book makes less sense than the possibility of the aforementioned scenario ever happening.

As for the information and 'Q&A', it was informative, at least, to those who at the very least took extensive notes in human biology and read them like a Bible every night before going to bed, or even someone who has been through med school. The author makes no efforts whatsoever to "dumb down" the medical jargon and official definitions of various diseases, body parts, and such that confuse the mass majority who don't have a medical dictionary or a spare model of the human torso on hand as a reference to understand what the fuck he's talking about. That's where it irked me greatly. If regular people are asking these questions and you the author know or are suspecting that the brash and abrasive person asking you these odd, weird, or embarrassing questions are

a) drunk
b) drunk
c) legally drunk
d) inebriated

Then why in the HELL would you think that using an extensive vocabulary that college students are just yet grasping in their 2nd year wouldn't fly over the heads of these soused numbskulls? Seriously, this author is so detached from the reality of the situation--the fact that the person who asks these questions wants a straightforward and clear-cut, simple answer instead of an encyclopedia definition on what exactly makes this and this smell funny or why mens' body parts do this, or what does what in the gut; and the fact that a casual reader will not understand anything this book is saying unless they put it down and Google half the terms in this book to put it into perspective--only brings this piece of... whatever it is down further...

And what also peeved me was that some questions didn't receive an extensive enough explanation, just barely a quarter of a page, while another question which was in my opinion pretty obvious as to why and what and so forth got a page and a half. And in answering some of the questions, the author brought up OTHER questions to other things that weren't related to what he was talking about, but piqued the interest of myself and drew me away from what he was rambling on about.

Very prominent example -paraphrased-: He's talking about what makes B.O. stink. And he asks the question: Why do we use the phrase "sweat like a pig"? Pigs don't sweat; they roll in mud to keep cool.

Yes. Why DO we use the phrase "sweat like a pig"? Seriously! I don't give a damn about what makes B.O. stink (bacteria that feeds on sweat and dirt , duh!) I wanna know why we use such a physiologically inaccurate simile to embellish someone's possibly grandiose perspiration rate (huge words! huge words!!!)

Lesson for writers who write books intended to educate the public. Do not ever place a query in your thesis that, though tries to put something in perspective and compare to what you're about to discuss with the reader, has nothing to do with what you're really going to talk about. And when something out of left field interests the reader more than the topic they know is at hand, you can tell interest is taking a sharp drop.

This book had a couple of interesting facts but it would periodically jump to a conversation between two people which literally had nothing to do about the book. I think it was to try an add humor. It made the book choppy and hard to read.

Nice book about things we don't always think about when it comes to our body.

Very interesting.

I bought the book thinking it was mostly about biology and would have some tyoe of useful information, it's not.
not the worst thing I read, but was definitely a random thing that I guess can be considered quite a waste of time..
