5.0 out of 5 stars
Five of the best books I own!, December 4, 2002
This review is from: Worst-Case Scenario Five-Book Set: Worst-Case Scenario Survival Handbook, Worst-Case Scenario: Travel, Worst-Case Scenario: Dating & Sex, Worst-Case Scenario: Golf, Worst-Case Scenario: Holidays (Paperback)
The Worst-Case Scenario books by Joshua Piven and David Borgenicht have gone way beyond cult status, and the set of all five is the perfect thing to get if you want an entertaining read. The ultimate coffee table books, not one person can pick one up without finding something out they didn't desparately need to know until just now.
After reading these books, one can manuever on top of a train, jump from a building into a dumpster, survive a riot, escape a runaway parade balloon, hotwire a car, get someone unstuck from a chimney, determine whether your date is an axe-murderer, and hundreds of other things.
Great for an armchair quarterback or basically anyone else who has the slightest interest in nifty things, this collection is probably the best thing I can recommend on Amazon.com. Just put them on a coffee table and watch how quickly people pick one up, and how slowly they set it back down.
If all five books is too much of a commitment for you; however, try the original (yellow) or the "Dating and Sex" (black) book. I guarantee you will love them!
