Richard Wiseman is one of my favourite authors. He writes in a really engaging way and always brings interesting things to the table. In Quirkology he excels himself in the range of weird and wonderful experiments he’s conducted or reports on that shed a fascinating light on the vagaries of being human. Entertaining and educational, a perfect ‘dip into’ book.

This is one of my favourite books. Wiseman’s anecdotes about the experiments he has conducted really are written in an entertaining an often amusing way.
Tricia McBride says
I loved this book too. Richard used to be a magician and his showmanship shows through his writing and lectures. You can sign up to receive his emails which tell of his latest experiments and sometimes ask the reader to participate. If all teachers and writers were as informative and entertaining as him, we’d all have loved school…
