I picked up this book because I was looking for a fun romp in the sci-fi side of things and this one had good reviews.
I don't know what I was expecting from this book, but I sure didn't expect a new found love for science. Ryan has found a way to get across scientific concepts in a humorous yet super understandable way. There were many times I thought to myself “it's THAT easy? I should try it out!”
I started out listening to this book and 3/4 of the way through actually went to B&N to get a physical copy to see all of the illustrations. I should point out this is the first time I have bought a physical book in years. This was the best kind of “bait and switch” (from my experience, at least) that a reader can happily run into.
“How To Invent Everything” should be required reading in grade school. Shoot, I think North should write a whole curriculum. Looking forward to what's next with this great author.
