It’s a well-written book I would really recommend to anyone that might understand a bit more about science than I do. The answers aren’t prolonged and are explained simply
I gave up on really reading through all the questions (I finished it in one sitting) but it was enjoyable all the less (i liked the question about having children with yourself and how it was explained in d&d terms)

I've been reading xkcd for years, and have wanted to read this book since the day it was announced. I'm so glad I finally got around to it, because it was so funny and interesting.
Content Warnings
Graphic: Body horror, Death, and Blood
Most of the book isn't graphic, even though a lot of the questions end in death. But there's one question right at the end where there are really graphic descriptions of blood that I hated.
