AsapSCIENCE: Answers to the World's Weirdest Questions, Most Persistent Rumors, and Unexplained Phenomena

We purchased this book for our niece. We did note that some of the subject matter might be questioned for certain ages (e.g. orgasms, dancing getting you laid, and morning wood). I found no recommended age information, nor was I aware of this subject matter when I preordered (it's very likely I didn't research thoroughly, as I am a fan).I will note that these are all natural aspects of life, and nothing objectively negative for a younger child to be exposed to. The terminology used in that presentation might be questioned (some may prefer formal terminology over informal), and the potential social ramifications of having a child educated in such matters could, sadly, be an issue, however. My wife and I are fine with it, but our niece's parents and grandparents have different opinions than we do on some things. Just something to think about.

This book explores the type of questions that usually only a kid would ask, and digs deep into giving an in depth answer that that same kid would understand. It's good for the curious, regardless of whether they are science illiterate or hold one or many PhD's in STEM fields. Granted, many things are oversimplified, but given the circumstances and the general atmosphere in which this book is meant to be read, I believe the guys at Asap Science made a great product here.Unrelated to the book itself: I got myself the Kindle version and yet it wasn't compatible with my eReader device (Kindle Paperwhite), so beware if you are getting the soft copy.

I did a search for books for 8-13 year olds and this book popped up. My grandson loves science and always has questions about the unusual. I bought the book as a birthday gift for him. The book description talks about science and says it is a fun read. Thank goodness I leafed through it before giving it to him. This is an adult book and definitely not appropriate for anyone under the age of 21! The book description is not accurate and did not say anything about the adult content in this book. I'm sending it back.

My grandkids love the ASAP Science Songs. Thought the book would be great. Definitely an adult book. I started tearing out pages and then just threw the whole book away. Disappointed!

The book itself is fine. But, ASAP Science makes videos geared towards kids while the book is definitely not! So glad I flipped through it before giving it to my 7 year old!

LOVE THIS BOOK, it is essentially the AsapSCIENCE Youtube videos in book form. It's a fun, clever and easy to read to pick up and browse through and also to sit and read to feed your brain. I leave it on my coffee table and guests have fun looking through it. If you're a fan of the YouTube videos, this is definitely a must buy, and if you're a fan of knowledge, this is also a must buy. I do caution sharing it with children though as some are definitely fun for kids, there are some more adult topics you might want to clear with their parents first.

MIddle school grandson loves books and is an information magnet. He loves this and walks around quoting the facts he learns until people freak out. It's so funny and I adore giving him good info to expand his thinking. Nice book. Nice printing and paper. There are serious facts and things that make him laugh out loud. Glad I found this book.

I bought the book for my 12 years old son. He loves to watch asapscience videos. Thought he will enjoy the book too. Nevertheless, the content of the book is good he has not been as interested to read it than to watch ithe videos. He has read a few themes of the book but continuos to prefer the videos. I bought it too because is a way to support the asapscience project. The more funds the get the more videos that they will have available. Love their work, think is a wonderful, educational way for kids to watch interesting and some what complex informations in a fun, friedly format.

The book looks great HOWEVER it won't display properly on my Kindle white and so impossible to read - £8 down the drain. Rather than portrait, it flips into horizontal - which is useless because it shrinks itself and then the font goes wrong. Not impressed.

I personally love ASAP Science and the book exceed my expectations. It is a great book if you are curious and would like to relax / have a bit of fun while learning random interesting facts about life in general. In addition, the illustrations are amazing. I totally recommend it.

for the one who thinks he knows everything

Can't believe it took me so long to get it!

Loved all the you tube videos asap made so thought I'd get the book. I think it's great the only down side is I'd wish I hadn't watched them all first on YouTube. Still a good read though
