Piacevole, ma un po' troppo "leggero". Ho preferito l'italianissimo "Se tutte le stelle venissero giù".

Seriously serious answers for weird questions (I also appreciate the sections of questions that were left unaswered).

Oh what fun for bedtime reading. Would recommend to anyone, but you need to take it super seriously.

Die Fragen entsprechen leider nicht meinem Geschmack bzw. sind für mich nicht relevant / interessant. Anfangs war ich noch Feuer und Flamme aber mit der Hörzeit fühlte ich mich wie in der Schule und meine Aufmerksamkeit hat arg nachgelassen. Norman Matt ist daran weniger schuld. Ich finde seine Stimme sehr angenehm und höre ihm gern zu. Die Antworten zu den Fragen sind aber sehr wissenschaftlich und mathematisch - nichts für mich. Man sollte sich wohl schon sehr für Chemie, Physik und Mathe begeistern können um mit diesem Hörbuch Spaß zu haben. Ich hatte doch etwas anderes erwartet. Mehr Fragen die sich in den Alltag einfügen. Schade.

Lots of short chapters examining the real repercussions of what would happen if your crazy thought up ideas came to fruition. You have to really be interested in the hard sciences to keep focused on this book, I found, and that is certainly not me. Some of the chapters were really funny and educational for me, others I couldn't care less about. The author does have a humorous writing style, and the chapters are in little bird sized chunks which make this book great to keep on your phone, and read a few chapters here and there while waiting in line, on hold, etc.

Funny and informative - yea though a bit "game-y" for my taste. Still worth the read.
