Summary: Not bad but needed to be a little longer
Comment: This book is a compilation of scientific questions written in to the "New Scientist" magazine's "Last Word" page. Other readers then sent in their replies, the questions are of a non earth-shattering nature. "Why do some people stick out there tounges while thinking", "Why are eggs egg-shaped", "Why doesn't cling wrap cling to a metal bowl as well as it does to plastic or glass bowls", "How can ants survive in a microwave". These are some of the questions that are tackled. Although the book is not bad it is very short and will be completed in one sitting. The questions could have been more interesting, but I guess that's the fault of the readers of New Scientist. I would recommend that people read the great "Why things are & why things aren't" by Joel Achenbach, before this as that was a real gem.
