Reviews for When Did Wild Poodles Roam the Earth?
Rating: 2.5 out of 5 stars
2.5/5
2 ratings2 reviews
- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5I felt that this book was only mildly interesting. The questions (called "Imponderables") were a little inconsistent: some could have been answered with a little common sense while others needed actual research. The answers were also a bit inconsistent, with some just a paragraph and others two pages or more. The author did try to make the answers amusing, but often ended up being snarky or just dumb. Also, the questions were on such random topics that going from one to the next was usually a large jump. I became annoyed that the answers presented were quite superficial, and presented by the author as if he believed the readers could not possibly understand all the details (or maybe he's the one that was baffled), which I found extremely irritating. Although his sources (usually PR people for manufacturers) were named, he seemed to prefer direct communication and avoid any print sources that could have given the interested reader a chance to find out more. In the end, I was disappointed.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5I'm getting fairly annoyed with these Imponderables books... It seems like each one I read is a bit worse then the last. It came to mind while reading this one that there is one VERY huge flaw in this serious: NOT. SOLVING. ANYTHING. What do I mean? I mean the questions that are so painstakingly "researched" and "selected" and "answered"... many of them aren't *really* answered in the book at all. Waaaaay too many of the questions in this book have answers that are basically "well, we can't track down the *real* answer, but here are a few of our best guesses". WTF is up with that? If you can't answer the question, why say you can, and why publish it?
