Review:
Every night I look at this book and am both creeped out and fascinated by it. It's like one of those 'Haunted Painting' horror stories - like 'Road Virus heads North' or 'Picture of Dorian Gray'. However, through the genius of Derren Brown, these stories have become reality, with a book that is mesmerising (derived from the word 'Frank') on the outside and even better within...
Within its pages, there is all manner of fascinating Gambits and vignettes that can be used by anyone, given enough determination. An example of this is Russell's Paradox, which I never understood b4 reading this book and now do, adding to the interest in my dinner party conversation.
The book is neatly organised in sections and is indexed for easy use meaning it can be dipped into for whatever you happen to be looking for. Further to this, Mr Brown (the one who SHOULD be Prime Minister) also puts a list of his favourite, useful books at the end, which is incredibly useful for deepening ones knowledge on any subject, without needless trial and error.
My one criticism is that this book can be a little strange in its writing. Though he acclaims Dawkins, this book isn't quite as lucid and tends to be a little difficult to fathom. However, this is typical of DB, and you wouldn't want to understand that face too much, would you...?
Anyhow, this is a fantastic book, and it is not just me saying that; this is one of the few books I have recommended to others that has borne gratitude for my suggestion! Why on Earth can't more entertainers write books as good, with indexing and good sourcing? I'm sure the world would be a happier place with books like this everywhere, even if they do scare people at night...
