Sometimes this book has some pretty insane situations hence the title "worst case scenario" however, I do think that there's a little information in this book that it couldn't hurt to know about should the need arise. It isn't a book that I am going to purchase at full cover price for 14.95 because it just isn't worth the price, however, it's an interesting read. Once you've read it, it's something that you're probably going to pass on to another person since it's not really that great for a second read.

The "Worst Case Survival" series is hilarious, but also incredibly valuable. I've used at least one of these, and it was worth 100 times the cost of the book (in your case, FREE!)

Good basic information about all types of scenarios. It ranges from escaping from quicksand, landing a plane, and breaking down a door to surviving a poisonous snake attack. Can be very useful.

So helpful...especially if you get lost in the amazon... or the congo!
A great book to add to your list of unused trivia in the back of your mind, unless you unfortunately need this info, then you'll be glad you read it won't you?!?

My 11 yr old son poured thru every page of this book and impressed us all with his knowledge. Who knows, maybe we WILL need to know what to do if we get stuck in quicksand!
