Amazing book, but you MUST have a sense of humour to enjoy it. Die-hard, evangelicals will definitely want to skip this one.

I've just started this one so it wouldn't be fair for me to rate it. This is the fifth or sixth book in the series and generally they are all good reads. A nice escape from a hectic world.

Guinea Pig Diaries: My Life as an Experiment | A J Jacobs

The Let Down Diaries.

3 years ago

Having read and loved Jacobs previous two books, The Know It All and The Year of Living Biblically, I was excited to see he had written a new book. However, his two earlier experiments each took a year whereas the experiments in this book took roughly a month each. None of them were very in depth due to being done so quickly. This would probably be a great book for anyone with ADD. What really annoyed me though was that a great deal of this book was made up of stories published in his fir… read review
