I REALLY love the IgNobel prices. It is a great way so entertain people and show them science. the research awarded with an IgNobel price makes people laugh, but then think because the value for science or society is explained.

That last thing, that is what I'm missing in this book. That is why this book is disappointing for me, or at least, not meeting my expectations. But it is really funny at some times. I do have to admit I skimmed or even skipped some parts because it did not sounded very interesting to me. All the pieces are really short like 3 pages or so, so it was not a big part of the book I skipped.

Maybe the short article-style bits in this book is the problem, or maybe the author just wants to be funny and lost touch with the science communication value of the IgNobel prizes.
