Meh. It's a mixed bag.,
By Jason - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Forbidden Knowledge (Paperback)
I had high hopes that this would be a "how to" book of obscure, yet useful information. When I opened to chapter one entitled, "Tell if your neighbor is a zombie," I knew to temper my hopes significantly. Split into three primary types of tidbits, this book is a mixed bag at best.Examples of the Practical: How to pull of an eBay scam (mostly illegal), beat a speed camera (unlikely but possible), negotiate with terrorists (provided you aren't afraid of death), count cards at a casino (if you want to get your head cracked), have fun in an elevator (if you want to make everyone hate you), and stuff you shouldn't do in an elevator (old news). Examples of the Interestingly Impractical: How to stage a coup (interesting for today's political climate), become a Mafia boss (in real life, not on myspace or facebook), build an atom bomb (doubtful), perform heart surgery (only if you like death and inevitable jail time), and bullfight (for fans of puncture wounds). Examples of the Stupidly Impractical: See Chapter one and several others like it. Aside from my successful eBay scam and the money I got posing as an African Prince with financial difficulties, this book didn't really provide me with any useful "forbidden" knowledge. I realize this is a book with its roots in humor, but I didn't laugh that much while reading it, either. It's essentially a bigger, slightly better list that's similar to Cyber Jokes: The Funniest Stuff on the Internet. 39 of 40 people found the following review helpful

Useless,
By Luke Wickenheiser "lukefinite" - Published on Amazon.com
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Forbidden Knowledge (Paperback)
This was a ridiculous book. Item one was "How to tell if your neighbor is a Zombie." Does he crave human flesh? Does his lips appear blue? Most of the articles were either like the first or along the lines of "Do you need to get the safe open? Hire a locksmith." "Do you want to start a riot? Get some people together and riot." This book was a waste of time.

Briefly entertaining. Most subject matter isn't very useful.,
By T. Gallion - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Forbidden Knowledge (Paperback)
This book is rather off the wall. It's supposed to be a semi humourous book of secrets or tricks. Most of the subject matter is probably illegal or at least immoral. It's entertaining with a Maxim magazine type of attitude. Some tidbits of useful information. Most of the book's subject matter is not covered thoroughly enough to be useful though. Some of the "tricks" are outdated and don't work. It's worth reading once or twice. Maybe I would buy it used if it's cheap, I actually don't think it's worth buying brand new.
