Spellbinding, like a good episode of Mannix! There are now places I won't drive, things I won't eat and bugs I will avoid like....well, like death!

Phil Scott's "Deadly: The World's Most Dangerous Everything" truly is an exciting journey into the world of deadly; from things that you do, to things that you don't do because you know better... well, most of us, anyway! Phil Scott's writing style is unparalleled--he highlights the deadliest things in the world, from activities to animals, and his style brings you so intimately close with danger that you feel as though you are the person risking his or her life. Afraid to fly? Bring this book on your next flight, and as long as you keep your eyes at least 12 inches away from the pages of this veritable compendium of peril, you'll be safe-you'll see that the skies really are friendly because you're 40,000 feet above the horrible things that can go wrong on the ground. But bring your Valium just incase: This heart-racing book of terror promises to raise your pulse!
