5 stars In this mammoth of a book, Randall Munroe proves that with enough math, everything eventually explodes. A hilarious, entertaining, interesting, and fascinating read exploring oddly specific questions you never thought to ask.

For more reviews, check out my blog: Craft-Cycle Okay read. I will say that as an only child, it was kind of hard for me to relate to. Pretty much all I know about having siblings is what I’ve seen on TV and read in books. I’m sure those with siblings would find this more interesting….
