4.0 out of 5 stars
Worth it if only to laugh at some of the scenarios,
By
This review is from: The Worst-Case Scenario Survival Handbook: Extreme Edition (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.

This review is from: The Worst-Case Scenario Survival Handbook: Extreme Edition (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?

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.
