4.0 out of 5 stars If I had only known..., September 24, 2006

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.
