funny and informative
This book is both amusing and informative. A few of the questions weren't really fully answered to my satisfaction, but I did pick up quite a few fun facts. I found the chat intermissions a little annoying at first, but I soon grew used to them and relaxed into the humour break. This book is well worth reading and I will be looking up their other books at some point in the future.

Hysterical and informative
This really is a fun read. It answers questions you might go online to find the answers to, instead of asking out loud. It is written in an entertaining way. I keep wanting to read parts out loud to my husband, but some may be a bit mature for my 10 year old. LOL.

Funny & Informative
This book does answer a lot of the questions we all ask (anyone but our doctor!) I like that it is humorous. All in all, an enjoyable and recommended read.

An un-memoralbe read
This book is not for anyone who has more than a highschool education, or for anyone possessing medical knowledge. I'm suprised the book is co-written by a physician because of how dumbed-down the writing style is, plus many of the questions are not even answered adequately. Anyone with common sense probably knows most of what the book attempts to discuss. Secondly, the pop culture referals and instant messaging dialogue added to the book I found irritating, which I skipped over. I was largely unimpressed and only finished reading to book so I could say I read the book. It was not worth my time to read (and I'm greatful I didn't waste and money because, I borrowed it from a friend). Perhaps the worse book I have read in a long time, not recommended.

Not an encyclopaedia -- THANK GOD!
It's a funny, quick read that packs in all of Mark Leyner's quirky sense of humor. The anecdotes themselves are hilarious. You don't read the book to really, really learn something, although you inevitably do along the way. You read the book to have a good laugh and ponder some of the stranger things in life. A great gift -- for yourself, too.

I Couldn't Put It Down
I was sitting in my third hour a few weeks ago, and my friend suddenly handed me this book before class started, stating it was the best book ever created. The title itself just makes you interested in reading it, and it makes you wonder 'Why do men have nipples?' And thus your journey begins to find the answer. Though that isn't the first question that I flipped right to. This book sparks up other questions as well and once you've read the answer to one of the questions the next one is just as weird and funny. I definitely think, if you're one of those random, out-going people who enjoy laughing to pick up this book, at least read a few questions and then you'll be hooked.

GREATEST BOOK I HAVE EVER READ
I have never enjoyed a book as much as i have enjoyed this one. Truly fantastic. That Mark Leyner is an absolute genious. Incredible. I am astounded by how so many positive emotions can be concocted by a simple book. I applaud this triumph strongly. Mark Leyner is my hero.

Good book
This was a good book but not as great as some people say it is. I finally did get answers to some questions i always wondered about and some i never even thought of. But there are other questions that i wonder why they even bothered putting them in there. Between sections of the book they put recorded chats the two authors had while they were putting the book together. Some of these seemed to have no real purpose for the book and in my opinion should have been left out. I would recommend this book though.

Good idea, but...
Much of this book is simply about the way the book itself was written. Every so often, the book takes a foray away from answering medical questions and simply begans regaling us with paritally true stories of how the book came to be written. If this had all been in the introduction, fine, then I could have skipped it. Also, the authors fail to answer a couple of the questions and get sidetracked and answer related questions. For Q-and-A on bizarre topics, read the far superior 'Imponderables' collection.

Hilarious
This book is very funny,and informative. It has questions ive been wondering about since I was a kid. The only kinda slow part is the IMs between the authors, although some are very funny. Would def. recommend.

Enjoyable book
This is a rather entertaining and silly book of questions. Most of which I truly have wondered about. Thus, it's a satifying read. It's a great book to take on a date and get the conversation going. Yet, it lacks depth. Still, in a light sort of way, it's a fun satisfying book. It doesn't answer any spiritual questions however. For that I would check out my book recommendation.
