Archetypal stocking-filler and probably favourite of charity shop new year donations. Fun for a while but can feel a bit smug and self-satisfied. Great book to have on the toilet window sill.

This book does leave you wanting to run up to the first person you see and tell them everything you have just read. Next time i come across escaped lion in the park i will be stand back guys i know what to do!.

But seriously it is a great serious book and very useful !! A Lot of the worst case scenarios are not that far fetched. Its not that hard to imagine being in situation where someone is stabbed/shot or having to jump out building or even how to deliver a baby. The sheer panic comes from not knowing what to do and though i can't prove it i feel i would act in more confident way if in one of them situations come up in my life.

Buy it you won't be disappointed. Great read !!

Enjoyed reading through this book, although most of the knowledge in it will never actually be used its fun and entertaining.

It also gives you something to show off to your friends about.. Not everyone knows how to wrestle a crocodile! Great Read!

This fascinating little book is a collection of How-To tips that could mean the difference between survival and a rather unpleasant demise. The authors rounded up the suggestions of a group of experts in their respective fields, and organized them by subject. Everything is covered here from How to Escape from a Sinking Car, through How to Escape from a Bear, How to Deliver a Baby in a Taxicab, to How to Survive When Lost in the Mountains.

On the surface this book might seem like a book of useless trivia, but such is not the case. In fact, only this past summer, in the city of Joliet, a Chicago couple took a wrong corner and took a dead-end street into a river. If only they had seen the section on escaping from a sinking car.

In all seriousness, this book does contain useful information that everyone should probably read at least once in his or her lifetime.

While this book is listed under "Humour", this is only partially true. It is funny, but only because of the deadpan style used throughout this brilliant series.
