Review:

This book definitely has a different format than other health related manuals.  It’s almost “ketchy” in its approach.  I actually like that - it’s hip and clever without being obnoxious.  There are original drawings used as illustrations and my favorite: factoids and the myth vs. fact.  These little nuggets are all throughout the book and contain such goodies as: “Myth or Fact: you can catch a cold by being cold or wet” (Myth) or “Thirty minutes of exercise reduces eye pressure by 20 percent.”  

These little tidbits aside, the book is written in such a way that it is easy to read and easy to understand.  There are twelve chapters and you can read one or all of them, they are independent of each other.  They cover topics from your digestive system to your sexual organs.  While the information may not be terribly deep and life-changing, it is interesting, practical and definitely worth reading.  

Pro’s:

• Useful information
• Easy to read and understandable
• Creative illustrations
