So you think you're paranoid?, December 15, 2004
This review is from: Everything Is Bad for You (Hardcover)
I can honestly say this book can provide hours of entertainment. Who knew that staples caused so many office accidents? Oh and did you know that holy water is actually bad for you?
Of course, there are the staple things that everyone knows is harmful to your health- drugs, smoking, drinking. But even with those the author adds at least something you didn't know, plus his little quips make all that drug education pounded into your head in middle school actually funny.
The book is in dictionary format- best idea ever. Get this book, then have all your friends shout out something and you look it up. I'm sure it could make an interesting drinking game too, I haven't tried though.
If you're a parent and would like to annoy the hell out of your child, if you're a hypochondriac and you need something to blame, or maybe if you're just bored, this is a great book. But if you are paranoid, I wouldn't recommend it. This will definetly not make you feel good.

Funny and Informative, December 17, 2002
By A Customer
This review is from: Everything Is Bad for You (Hardcover)
A confirmed optimist, I surprised myself by liking this book a lot. It is a fascinating, being both very humorous and informative at the same time, and hard to put down. The writer presents evidence which suggests that not alone is everything bad for you, but that you are "damned if you do, and damned if you don't". It will make you laugh, which is good for you, but then again, maybe laughing isn't good for you! There is also an excellent list of websites to help track down solid information on a wide range of health issues. So I reckon whether you are an optimist or maybe a pessimist, looking for a laugh or trying to get some solid information on particular issues, or looking for a Christmas stocking present, check it out.

Converstaion Starter, November 16, 2002
This review is from: Everything Is Bad for You (Hardcover)
I just couldn't put this book down! It's a great conversation starter when you can't find one. Just when you thought you knew what was bad for you along comes a book that tells you EVERYTHING is bad for you, even breathing! Highly recommended. Three thumbs up!
