Science has never been so horrible! - By: , 09 Jul 2000 
Suffering Scientists is a great way to learn about scientists without getting bored to death. This book explains different scientistsin a very sickening way. Along with talking about scientists, it explains science & shows how to do experiments which are sometimes gory.There are 4 main chapters, each with it's own science. They are astromony, chemistry, biology & phisics & have the vey famous scientistsin this category. They have very famous scientists like Albert Einstein ands Issac Newton. The illustrations are very funny with a jokein most of them. These usually make you laugh & tell other people. It is guaranteed to keep you reading for a few hours with it's long pages,puzzles & quizzes. That's why I give this book five stars.
