Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Hilarious and handy
Review: This book was so funny! My friend and i have nothing better to do, so we went and sat there and read all of the worst case scenario book, and i must say, this one was bomb! i loved the emergency phrases in the back, such as: Why is the water brown/green/yellow?

I actually learned something from this book too. The section on how to stop a thief and how to survive a mugging are good for anyone to learn, not just travelers!

Summary: Light reading for the adventurous tourist
Review: This book, like the others in the series, is tongue in cheek. Some of the advice and scenarios are practical but others are completely in fun. My favourite was the advice of what to do if you are threatened with alien abduction. You should not let your mind give in to them. In other words, stop hallucinating and you will be just fine. :)

At the same time some of the advice is practical and could be useful to everyone, not just travellers. For example it gives advice on what to do if your car ends up hanging over the edge of a cliff. While not an everyday occurrence it almost happened to a friend of mine during a snowstorm on the highway.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Cool book with interesting, useful tips!
Review: This is a fun book that's actually useful. Hopefully, I won't encounter many of these scenarios, but if I did, I would certainly be prepared!

Summary: Funny but will not save your life
Review: This series is good for some laughs, but is very likely to get you killed. The best on the topic is the US Army Survival Manual.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Well, okay -- and here's how an expert does it
Review: Very, very funny. And if I ever need to stop a car without brakes or deal with a mass riot, then I'll do my best to follow the advice in WORST CASE SCENARIO SURVIVAL HANDBOOK-- because I have no alternative ideas. Useful for dinner parties and during long car journeys when the conversation runs out.

To look into the heart of true survivalist at work, under very weird circumstances, I highly recommend Peter Hillary's IN THE GHOST COUNTRY. The pleasures are many and surprising, and the shocking revelations are no joke. Great stuff.
