Stars: 4
Review by: Mandy Apgar
Not sure if
this was a 3 or a 4. Putting it a 4 so it gets on the list and has a
better chance of more reading it. But it is concerned with the actual
sciences behind things like, as the subtitle says,
the Holy Grail (although they discuss Arthur and Merlin a lot more),
love potions (spoiler alert - they stink, and they don't work) and
superpowers (the author seemed kind of amused at the fascination with
comic book characters, which I did not like, but he
did bring about a group of people who are working on creating a healing
factor like Wolverine's). And a few others - the Delphic oracle, why
Vikings went totally nuts sometimes and saw visions in their mead, super
soldier programs. A lot of different things
in a medium sized book.
