Product Description
Product Description
How could it get any worse? For the eleventh book in the phenomenally successful Worst-Case Scenario Survival Handbook series, the authors have pulled out all the stops, harking back to the core appeal that made the first book a runaway bestseller and turning the intensity up to 11. Here are all new scenarios for living life on the very edge. Imperiled readers will learn immediate, hands-on strategies for surviving an elephant stampede, 16-car pile-up, mine collapse, and a nuclear attack. Discover how to take a bullet, control a runaway hot air balloon, break a gorilla's grip, endure a Turkish prison and free a limb from a beartrap. Whether stranded on an iceberg, being chased by a pack of wolves, spinning out on a motorcycle, held under by a huge wave while surfing, or being buried alive, The Worst-Case Scenario Survival Handbook: Extreme Edition is the ticket to survival.

This is a great present for someone who you find it difficult to buy for!
Since we were children my brother has always been full of 'what if.....' questions (e.g. 'What would you do now if a lion got on to the train at the next stop'). So this book made an ideal xmas present for him.
This book is full of all sorts of weird and wonderful scenarios.
Great 'fun' novelty present but I wouldn't recommend it if you are trying to buy yourself a good read.

This book has a great way of being really straight forward which makes some entries really funny (also because some scenario's are really outrageous). Gave this book as a bit of fun for Christmas to someone who is forever getting himself in disastrous situations so thought it may come in quite handy. Last time I went around his house he had it displayed as reading material in the toilet. Ever since I have been trying to view this as a positive!

Worth it if only to laugh at some of the scenarios
16 Sep 2006
Format:Paperback
The book is extremely entertaining and it might save your life, too. It covers scenarios James Bond would aspire to.
"How to endure a Turkish prison"
"How to survive an elephant stampede"
"How to survive a nuclear attack"
"How to take a bullet"
"How to control a runaway hot air balloon"
"How to break a gorilla's grip"
Plus other scenarios that are more practical and more likely for one to encounter.
"How to free a limb from a beartrap"
"How to survive on an iceberg"
"How to survivean attack by a pack of wolves"
"How to recover a motorcycle spinning out of control"
"How to survive a 16-car pile-up"
"How to survive a mine collapse"
Bottom line, there is some practical advice here for emergencies, but it is the entertainment, laugh-out-loud factor that makes it worth it.

Hilarious! Don't leave home without it!
2 Feb 2006
Format:Paperback
Ever imagined yourself in an elephant stampede? In a runaway baloon? Buried alive? Gripped by a gorilla? Stuck in a bear trap? Ever dreamed of being a hero(in) rescuing everybody in a helicopter that the pilots left?
If you have this book, then you have solutions to all these situations: You will be able to control the baloon, control the helicopter and land it, survive from a pack of volves, deal with a quadruple blowout, how to survive a nuclear fallout etc.
Remember the scenes from the movies that our hero(in) has to survive some kind of "tricky" situation (his/her food poisoned let's say)? And remember yourself thinking about what would you do if you were him? That's right: This book is absolutely for you!
Most probably you will never use the tactics you have read in this book. But believe me, it's a really interesting, fascinating, funny book that you'll finish in less than an hour.
The price tag is nice also. It's amazing, affordable, fascinating, a good time-passer. What would you want more?

Very entertaining

This is a very entertaining book. I'm not sure how many of the scenarios would ever come in handy but it makes for great conversations.
