How to create a flawless universe

Some sciences are problematical in that you can't do experiments. Cosmology, evolution and so on - you can't just rerun the tape and see what happens. Or so everyone thought. But if you read 'How to create a flawless universe (in just eight days)' then you can indeed try these things out for yourself. This easy to follow book is full of useful notes from other universe creators, and has plenty of advice on how to avoid problems. From the big bang to the eighties, its all in here. Most important is the eighth day (p67 - 70) on how to keep everyone happy, achieve eternal youth and many other things - well maybe.

All in all 'How to create a flawless universe' is a highly amusing book describing the creation of the universe in the style of a highly pictorial how-to manual, with warning symbols, helplines and most importantly its full of scribbled notes. My one minor criticism would be that I did feel that the bits on plants, animals and people started to get a bit samey - make a shape out of some stuff then colour it in. I felt a bit of real biology might have helped here, just as the bits on stars, planets and galaxies benefited from being a mix of Genesis and current cosmological ories.

Fantastic Christmas Present *****
Realy quirky book, easy to dip in and out of, or to read in one sitting if you want, and yet (as others have said) also quite profound. Well worth eight quid (I believe it is here) of anyones money. Ideal Christmas present for anyone that's difficult to buy for, but who has a sense of humour and an appreciation of the ridiculous. Appeals to any age - I bought it for myself, but my thirteen year old son loves it.
 
An astonishing idea *****
This is a unique and very funny book - on one level its amusing, silly and daft yet on another level it is actually quite profound. It exceeded all my expectations, I must say.

The book is filled with basic instructions which are terribly simple considering they are describing the enormous complexities of universe creation. On one page you are instructed to let your planets drip dry, on the next you must separate land and oceans and the final chapter, well it is a surprising and remarkable end to a very clever book.

I will be recommending this book to everyone I know and those I don't. Buy it. It's simply marvellous.

 
Who Created A Flawless Book *****
I saw this book while browsing for something completely different and decided to take a chance on it. I'm so glad I did! It's the most original, funny and downright weird thing I've ever read.

Apparently it was "discovered" by some college professor and then published. It doesn't say who read it as it's meant to be from a library where you can go and learn how to make your own universe! Seriously - it takes you through all these hilarious steps about making a big bang and painting your earth or designing animals and stuff. There are helplines and warnings like "Caution: Mondays". And stuff about people called Dave.

But there's a MASSIVE twist at the end that explains why god made the world like he did, but I don't want to spoil it.

Overall this book is BRILLIANT. I laughed for days after and am going to buy copies for all my friends. They'll love it too.
