This review is from: More Forbidden Knowledge: 101 New Things NOT Everyone Should Know How to Do (Paperback)
A waste of time. Very little interesting information in here and most of the topics give you a succinct summary of what wikipedia would have and info on activities "how to survive/reveal/approach...." give only the most common sense advice. The author probably wrote this book in a few hours.....or cut and pasted it.

Book 2,
By R. Howell "boriskhan" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: More Forbidden Knowledge: 101 New Things NOT Everyone Should Know How to Do (Paperback)
This sequel to Michael Powell's Forbidden Knowledge: 101 Things NOT Everyone Should Know How to Do holds its own with another 101 items not everyone should know. Some items in the book are just ridiculous like how to kill a vampire, remove a jinx, and write an erotic novel. Some lack the real information like how to pass a drug test, get hit by a car and survive, or pass a breathalyzer. But mostly, there are more than enough tongue in cheek entries to validate the book. You'll NOT learn things like how to do a keg stand, navigate a minefield, steal PIN numbers, run a scam, make a shiv, and amputate a limb. Entry information is minimal due to obvious legal reasons and you're warned that nothing in the book should actually be tried and the author and publishers cannot be held responsible should you try them. It's light reading, it takes a day to read, and knowledge tidbit #102 seems to be how to publish a book without using an editor. There are lots of insignificant editting errors but you'll be able to ignore them. If you read the first one, then enjoy this sequel.

This review is from: More Forbidden Knowledge: 101 New Things NOT Everyone Should Know How to Do (Paperback)
This book should be called "Less Information Than Google" because that's what it gives you. It was not interesting and not worth treading. It did have some good graphics and illustrations, but the information contained was nothing more than the scraps of websites, the author even admits to finding most of the information on the web.

This review is from: More Forbidden Knowledge: 101 New Things NOT Everyone Should Know How to Do (Paperback)
Not at all what I expected. Mildly humorous but mostly stupid. A back of the john kinda book but I'd prefer a magazine.
