A quick and easy read, Why Fish Fart took me no more than a couple hours to finish. I enjoyed every minute of it. Many of the pieces had me laughing out loud.

Always gross, but not quite as useless as the sub-title claims, the book contained some quite interesting and useful information in some of the section, particularly the hygiene practices.

All in all, a fun and enjoyable little book.

Written for entertainment rather than information, more anecdotal than scientific. Along the lines of Ripley's Believe it or not! with some science thrown in. No bibliographic references or footnotes and no index. Not written by a PhD but a woman whose previous works seem focused on holistic therapeutic approach. One entry seemed to indicate she feels cryogenics is a viable science. Short entries make the volume suitable for quick browsing. Lightly entertaining but no substitute for serious show more medical advice. show less

Entertaining, informative and an easy read.
