Not as good as the first book but still amusing and very technical on how to do things in the silliest way possible or how to do silly things in a logical manner. Good for kids questions if you summarize the technical aspects to them. Love the little drawings that go with all the explanations.

Enjoyed it. Basically a giant XKCD.
So long as you know what you’re getting into, it’s a fun and interesting read. Should you find yourself pondering the physics governing how far Carly Rae Jepson can yeet a microwave oven, have I got the book for you.

Great fun and absurd. I think I probably preferred 'What If?', but that might just be because that was a bit more novel. I really enjoyed it. A birthday present from Lucy

As usual, Randall Munroe strikes that wonderful balance between absurdity and science. It's a great pleasure to read something that not only teaches me something I never knew before but also makes me laugh out loud.
