So interesting you want to read it again (0 more)

After the success of Science(ish):The Peculiar Science Behind the Movies, Dr Michael Brooks and Rick Edwards return with Hollywood Wants to Kill You: The Peculiar Science of Death in The Movies. Admittedly at first I was a little reluctant, it sounded a bit too geeky for its own good, so I thought I would read a sample and I couldn't stop. This book is absolutely brilliant. Hollywood wanting to kill you is used in loose terms simply as an excuse to discuss extraordinary and utterly fascinating science to you, from plants that learn, to uploading your brain mapping, to the threat of asteroids. There is not one dull moment in this book and you will find yourself discussing awe inducing facts to anyone that will listen.
Not only is it fascinating, but it is also funny and is written and explained in ways that make it accessible no matter complicated the theories inside. I could easily sit and read this book again just so I can absorb even more of the amazing world contained in these pages but I promised to pass it on to my fourteen year old son who is also going to love this book.
A mind blowing adventure of a book delivered in a fun way. I can't rate or recommend this book any higher.

I found this book to be absolutely thrilling. Alex's endeavors to do good were well portrayed. I also got some Matrix feelings from the Science Fiction element. However, I feel like the drug abuse and sex was a bit over done. This book was still very good.
