Reactions:
“If you have even a passing interest in science and ever enjoy daydreaming about the fantastic or the ridiculous, this book is for you. If you don’t think that you enjoy those things, this book will prove to you that you do.” – Richard North Jr.

“Randall Munroe treats each question as if it had the gravity (a lot of gravity questions here- sorry) of your typical “is there intelligent life in the universe?” (or on Earth, for that matter) yet maintains the attitude of early Bill Cosby- “Why is there air?” This is one of the most captivating and thoroughly enjoyable books I have seen in a long time.” – Palealien

“Fun, engaging, enlightening and hilarious, this is a must-read book if you want the answer to some weird questions like, Is it possible to cry so much you dehydrate yourself? Or what would happen if you tried to hit a baseball pitched at 90 percent the speed of light?” – The Great Reads

“I’ve gotten a big kick out of Munroe’s What If? series, a sidebar of apropos-of-nothing hypothetical questions and rigorous answers that appears with his regular webcomic, XKCD. Being a busy guy, I got it as an audiobook, wondering briefly whether the absence of the illustrations would detract from the experience. Do I recommend it? Oh yeah. You won’t be sorry.” – Elhigh

“Super enjoyable book read by a man who really knows how to be a voice actor. The only problem is that the paper version of the book has images from the XKCD webcomic. The audiobook can only reference these images by number. I feel like a little something is lost. However, I feel like more is gained by having Will Wheaton read it.” – Brennan B. James
