How a Fly Walks Upside-Down and Other Curious Facts

Summary: Intended for kids
Review: I bought this book thinking it was a fun-trivia book for adults. Oops! It seems to be targeted at kids. Much of the information is common knowledge among adults, and the explanations are not terribly surprising or engaging. Furthermore, the language is rather simplified, and the whole approach smacks of a children's book (maybe ages 10-15 or so). Maybe the author went overboard in "keeping it simple, stupid"--so there's not much profound information here.

Summary: Some of this is outdated
Review: This would be a good book if some of the material was not outdated. Alot of it is still true but it would be a good one to revise. Also it could use an index. It got old fast going through ever single question and it would be bad if you were looking for something specific. The grouping could have been better too. If you have got the time..it is a ok book. I would probably give a revised version 4 stars.
