Format:Paperback
A neighbour introduced me to the 'Worse-case Scenario' series by giving me one of the books for my birthday. Initially, I assumed they were strictly humour..having read some of the excerpts such as ..fending off Killer Whales, Ramming cars, & being in such predicaments as your parachute failing to open.!!
Only when I looked at those who had contributed & saw their relevant occupations, I realised that finally a book had come along which was both amusing & utterly serious at the same time. Lets remember they deal literally with the 'Worst-Case Scenarios' put together in such a way the reader is compelled to read on, even if the chances of them ever being on the top of a speeding train appears very very low, for some reason..we continue on down until we find the answer..{just incase.!}..I even know how to save myself from being swallowed up by Quicksand..If you like an extremely entertaining read, where you come away with some life-saving tips..which you quite possibly may never need..but....
Highly recommended..!!

If I had only known...
24 Sep 2006
Format:Paperback
what to do when a wolf pack attacked me. Had I carried this very practical handbook, I would have known immediately that I should charge the lead wolf...
Fortunately I have little likelihood of needing survival tips from attack by wolves, but I have often stepped in dog droppings and needed a sure-fire method of removing all of the evidence. My daughter is a musician and thus may some day be trapped under a collapsed piano and will need to know she should lie still. Her father will need to know exactly why she was under a piano and whether she was alone during and immediately before the ordeal. Unfortunately this book answers the first question, but not how to tactifully ascertain the answer to the second.
The fact is this book is just plain fun.

It is a pretty good little book in the same line of other "Worst Case Scenario Guide of...." Nothing spectacular, but if you like the other books, you will enjoy this one.
