Book Review: Because I said So!

Because I said So!  By Ken Jennings

This is a short book review with the purpose of giving you a recommendation for a library book that might give you some insight on fallacies and old wives tales.  Many of the warnings and tales that are passed down are based on one time events or worst case events.  Sometimes the warning are just to reinforce manners and to teach you to avoid doing gross things.  How do you discern between the two.  Well, this book seems to have done so.

If you can get it locally at the library I would do so.  It is not a regular addition to the bookshelf that you might refer to often but it might just simply give you the facts on some things we were taught as kids to keep us in line that really had no basis in fact.

Following some of the old warnings might just keep you healthy.

This is a book that you might breeze through and catch a chapter every day or so until it is done.

I can't say I'd pay hard cash for the book but getting a checkout copy from the library gives the writer his due and gives you benefit of learning from his research.

It is well written but the subject matter makes it a low on the priority list read.  Just get through it.
