Summary: A good book to take your mind of your OWN worries...
Review: I enjoyed every bit of this book. Although a bit absured at times, it did give a few things to think about should I ever want to be an Obsessive Compulsive type.
Beware... (With a smile)

Summary: "I'm Afraid ,You're Afraid"
Review: Melinda Muse takes some very serious subjects,that could be very dull, and writes about them in an entertaining way. I learned alot that I didn't know. I didn't know that there was a link between talcum powder and ovarian cancer or that people who are sensitive to poision oak and poision ivy shouldn't peel mangos. Out of 448 things to fear and why there is definately something for everyone to learn.

Summary: I'm Afraid of Books like this!
Review: The premise of this book is a good one, don't get me wrong there. It had possibilities. Unfortunately, it fell flat far from these. It didn't promise all seemed. Basically it tells you why you should be afraid of certain things...but there is no new information, nothing exciting, and the things to be afraid of, frankly, are stupid. It is boring in its presentation. It was that book that could've but didn't.

Summary: The worrier's handbook
Review: The world is a dangerous place! There's the Ebola virus, thunderstorms, sleepy truckers, meteors, and licorice. Licorice? Yes, licorice. It can cause high blood pressure, lung congestion, and irregular heartbeat. (I'm having some of these symptoms now, just from thinking about my favorite candy!) And did you know that firing someone doubles your risk of heart attack, that tryingto quit smoking increases your risk of an accident, and that you're more likely to be murdered during the first week of the month? This funny book is a Godsend to those in desperate need of more things to worry about. Read it and be amused-- and forewarned.

Summary: Very Funny Truth
Review: This is one of the funniest books I have ever read and amazing since every entry is totally factual. Muse has done extensive research on everyday health and safety hazards and written about these hazards in a snappy, funny style that makes for great reading. Among my favorites are her entries on drumsticks, impotence, sneezes and toothbrushes.

Summary: Not as interesting as it should be....
Review: Very funny book. It says why we should be afraid of things! I laughted at almost everyone. But they say these things are true so I guess they are not a laughing matter.
