“I have been a fan of Jacobs' work for a while, and read all three of his previous books. I was surprised to find that he wrote another after "My Life as an Experiment"! However, this is the work that I found most pleasing. Jacobs has not lost his touch when it comes to writing humorous tales of his misadventures. And despite previously writing a book about reading the entire Encyclopaedia Brittanica, I found this to be the one that provided the most generalizable information. Essentially, Jacobs took a look at most major (or seemingly unmajor) parts of the body and wrote a meta-analysis of meta-analyses in order to present himself and the reader with the most accurate research findings and apply them to his self-experimentation. The result is a work free from the usual economic biases, and therefore more legitimately informative and funny than any actual health book you can find on the market. Whether you are a health enthusiast or a fan of comedy, I recommend this book to any who are considering it. It just may change the way you go about your life...in fact, I read half of it while walking on a treadmill. Enjoy!”
