     Many people out there have science questions that they want answered. In this book, there are over 100 Q and A's that all relate to the realm of science. The novel is called What If? by Randall Munroe. I have actually finished this book as of today. The recent novels I have read are all associated to the realm of science. I choose the book because it interested me immensely and also my dad had bought it. 

 

     I do enjoy science oriented books. This book is very detailed in it's explanations of science questions that people asked the author. Throughout the whole novel Randall does answer all of the questions, including some that people thought some very interesting things. Often, the author's style is to talk about the topic, and also vary from it using comedy. 

 

     One of my favorite passages is on the machine gun jet-packs. The author spends multiple pages pouring through data and scenarios where it would, and would not work. It is very entertaining to read about what would actually happen if you were to make a gun jet-pack. It turns out that the gun-pack would actually work and extremely well. Overall I feel like this is a very good book for those who enjoy science and/or theoretical physics.
