it was ok

Recently having read "What if?..." by the same author, I expected this book to be similar to the former. That being, a funny and a little absurd book portraying science in an understandable and entertaining way.

However, this one just felt very dry to me and kept dragging on and on. I caught myself merely skimming pages instead of properly reading them quite a lot because the corresponding chapter didn't capture my interest at all.

I am still planning to check out the author's other books because this one might have just been a blip.

Ellie Spencer (catching up from hiatus) Oh no, I am so sorry that this one was disappointing, I have been wanting to read what if?, but I will give this one a miss! Great review Tina! 🧡
