Bit of a mishmash
Not sure how to review this book. It can't decide whether its an adult book or a kids book. A few interesting projects (few being the operative word). I decided to give the book to my 13 year old cousin because so many of the projects are pretty childish but in the hands of a child any younger and some projects could be quite dangerous. Basically, I was not impressed. The author seemed to run out of idea's and repeated himself throughout the book. A better idea would be for you to do an internet search and print off some of the much better projects you'll find floating about.

Not bad, if not entirely original
An interesting book, perhaps better suited to the teenage market in many ways. I'd hoped for more sneakiness, I think, and was expecting a few more surprises. For those who haven't given improvised use for everyday objects much thought, this is a great start, though.

MacGyver a scritto il suo libro!
Magari siete troppo giovani per conoscerlo. ma per la mia generazione era un Mito! Con il suo coltello svizzero, riusciva a fare di tutto. da Disinnescare un Bomba Atomica e riparare il lavandino che perdeva. Questo libricino e incredibilmente Utile e fornisce un Sacco di Idee davvero incredibili ma di una semplicità disarmante :D Lo consiglio se volete "usare le mani in modo creativo" con quello che vi capita sottomano :D Davvero Divertente!

Ein Buch für jeden Mcgyver fan!
Ein sehr Interressantes Buch! Von Kunststoff aus Milch, bis hin zum Fernmelde-Alarm aus einem altem Walkie-Talkie diese Buchriehe kennt jeden Trick. Auch als Nachschlagewerk für Schriftsteller sehr zu empfehlen. Ich wünsche allen zukünftigen Käufern viel Spass beim Nachbasteln.

Great Gift!
Bought this as a gift for my father. He is the type of person that just buys things when he wants/needs them and is extremely hard to shop for. He loved it! A fun read.

Great book to interest children of all ages and genders in "information" reading.
I teach reading and math to special education students. Fostering an interest in reading books "for fun" is difficult enough for students who have developed an extreme aversion to reading in general, but capturing their interest in reading for information is a monumental undertaking. Every winter break I try to find a book they will read and reread. This year it was "Sneaky Uses for Everyday Things". The students were thrilled. They were observed reading it during lunch, recess and every spare minute! They came to me constantly during the day to show me a section. I highly recommend this book to students of all ages. I found it facinating and a wonderful resource for teaching hands-on science.

A little brainy, a little zany!
Grandson loved it! It's written for kids so I don't understand the disdain in some of the reviews. Yes, you can find a lot of this online but kids have so much "screen time" nowadays it's nice to see them following instructions written in a book!
