A Book in Review – Don’t Try This at Home

Book Count: 47

Don’t Try This at Home: Your Favorite Action Movie Sequences, Deconstructed, Demystified & Debunked By: Adam Weiner
Non-Fiction: science, physics, film 260 pages 2007

First, the back of the book promises that this book is “For film buffs and physics fans alike!” However, it is much more for physics fans. It would be a great book to read if you were studying for your SAT’s or a placement test in algebra or science at high school or college, but it isn’t really great for people who just like action films. It did have some useful scientific information in it, but as it had the formulas and equations for everything it talked about it was slow reading and rather boring. I did like the very end of the book and which it went over the rules of physics in cartoon worlds, as it was funny, and didn’t have and math problems to do in it.
