Witty science
Hollywood Wants to kill you - the peculiar science of death in the movies, is a witty, interesting mix of movie deaths via viruses, predators, robots etc, and the actual science behind said sub topics.
It's not a book that drones on and overloads you with facts, it swaps nicely between talking about certain movies, then the really interesting science information, then back to the film.
It's filled with funny little drawings as well, and what looks like a 'screenshot' of a some amusing text conversationsbetween Rick Edwards & Dr Michael Brooks.
One of the things I have learnt from the book is that the black death pestilence was actual bacteria not a virus, like I always thought.
If you like a good non fiction book, that will make you chuckle & you will learn something new from, this is definitely it.
