Science(ish): The Peculiar Science Behind the Movies by Michael Brooks, Rick Edwards
informative
medium-paced
3.0
This book was definitely interesting, but could use some improvements. I rate it a 3/5.
Firstly, there’s the texts between the writers. I see how they think it’d add comedic value, but honestly it doesn’t add anything.
Then there’s the text boxes in every chapter, which add additional information or fun facts about subjects. Those are definitely interesting but the problem is with the placement of them. They’re often in the middle of paragraphs or even sentences so then you either have to stop reading what you were reading, or come back to the textbox. It’s just not very convenient.
Lastly, some chapters were more interesting than others. The interstellar chapter nearly put me to sleep!
Overall I did really enjoy the book and if you’d ask me if I’d read a follow-up? Yes. Yes I would.
