Clever idea for an instruction manual, but it's probably better as a handy reference guide than a book you'd read right through to the end.

This was way more fun to read than 'A Short History of Nearly Everything' and covered similar information.

Great fun; a pretty comprehensive answer to the game I used to play with Sean of what I could invent/introduce if transported back in time to 'Jesus times' (although I suspect I wouldn't remember much from the book if that happened)

This book is entertaining, amusing, and extremely educational. I love Ryan North and this book definitely contains his trademark tone and writing style. At times it does read a bit like an encyclopedia, and the text can sometimes verge on annoyingly manic. But mostly, a thoroughly delightful read!
