Review

Full of inspiring projects that do not require upper-body strength or the ability to talk to girls. The helium balloon with a camcorder attached is pure sci-fi genius (Phil Hilton The Times )

4.0 out of 5 stars Geeky Fun for All 5 Nov 2012

By Gareth Wilson - Falcata Times Blog TOP 500 REVIEWER VINE™ VOICE

Format:Paperback

To be honest I picked this title up as a bit of a joke as I know that my twin is heavily into making fun projects with his children, yet there is only so many things that you can think up on your own and books like this give you lots of idea's of fun things that you can do together that makes your projects not only unique but a lot of fun is had along the way

Whether its making your own comic (no need for artistic talent as it tells you how to make a set and use photography), or making Firefly's to run round the garden with, there's an absolute ton of fun to be had within. There's something for all budgets which when added to the value of teaching your children lessons as well as making it fun for all (Dad included) then you know its something that will make an ideal Christmas Present.

1.0 out of 5 stars The name of the book has stopped me from buying it. 15 Dec 2012

By Seph

Format:Paperback

I really feel that perpetuating the stereotype of intelligent people by labeling them as being "Geeks" is really not helpful. I'd like to buy this but I don't want to send the message to my children that being interested in how the world works makes them something which is regarded as very derogatory in their world.... a geek. As an adult the word "geek" is not an issue but for children it can make you an outsider and a source for quite serious bullying. I'm not suggesting that by using the word "Geek" in the title of your book that you have caused bullying but rather that you are helping to perpetuate the stereotype. Couldn't you have used a different way to describe these exciting, original and fun things for parents to do with their children?

I bought this as a thank you for a doctor who had treated me after Cancer. I knew he had children but sadly I have not heard from him so don't know how successful a gift it was
