What If? 2: Additional Serious Scientific Answers to Absurd Hypothetical Questions

The What If books are just fantastic. They are equally funny and interesting and the science behind them has been so helpful in engaging my son (12) on some academic topics that had been presented in such a dry way in the classroom. Book 2 doesn't disappoint and has been well-worn by him and the rest of the family.

Genuinely good book - if you like answers to random (and stupid) questions. Munroe has obviously done his research, and the text is interspersed with cartoons featuring his xkcd characters.Only dropped a star in the review, as at some point between being produced and delivered, my copy looks like it's been dropped, damaging the spine and bottom edge of the book. See pix.

A few chapters in and loving it. But the print quality is rather poor for a book with lots of drawings and diagrams.

I do like the idea of touching on different subjects by asking crazy questions. The book is written in a funny way. I would definitely recommend it.

You like comedy and absurd questions and too-much-sience-in-the-answer explanation? Just buy the book. And the first one too!
