MythBusters: The Explosive Truth Behind 30 of the Most Perplexing Urban Legends of All Time

I've only caught MythBusters a few times on tv, but enjoy it enough to have shelled out for the book. It's fun to be able to read about their efforts without having to go to the effort to remember when the show is on tv ...Well written, with the same sense of humor and fun that Adam and Jamie display on the air.(And, for the reviewer who panned the book because she 'didn't know it was based on a tv show,' ... why should you blame the book because you didn't read the description? The summary very clearly states what the book is about, and what it's based on!)

Got this for my 7-year-old son. He really likes the television show, so I assumed he would really like this book. This has not been the case. I doubt he has even flipped through the entire book. There are plenty of tidbits and other insights, but it doesn't really compare to the show.

This was another purchase for our precocious grandson (then seven). He really was delighted with it, and it started to teach him to be skeptical of things such as "urban legends."

Purchased as a Christmas gift for my husband who really enjoys the Myth Busters television series. Good item. Thanks.

My grandson loved this book. He watches this tv show and can tell you about all the experiments. Lots of good fun.

What's not to love!

This book is really cool. It is the best of Myth Busters in book form. I am a big fan of the show and this book is great companion to the show.

I try to buy my son a Mythbusters book each year & again he loved it - thanks and nice fast shipping!

Brilliant book 📚

It's OK, but much less entertaining than the show. Some examples are quite fun, but if you are to draw any conclusions from it your are likely to get it wrong, or at best get it right for the wrong reasons: their methodology (speaking as a physicist) has huge logical potholes.
