I wish I could have given the book a better rating due to its content but it just didn’t measure up to anything higher than 3 out of 5 stars. It wasn’t incredibly well written, it was extremely repetitive and the “stuck in the 90s” design of the cover, as well as of some randomly inserted illustrations (of little globes in front of oceans or rainbows), almost acted as a repellent from letting you pick it up.

Nevertheless, I would absolutely recommend it to everyone who has heard the phrase, “You should drink more water!” multiple dozens of times but has never received a sufficient explanation of WHY you should do it. Densely packed with what at times seemed like outtakes from chemistry, physics and biology classes, it brought the needed message across. While it did get a bit too scientific every now and then for someone without much background knowledge on the subject, it was short enough of a read to still let you get through it quickly.

For me it was the 1st “person” who has motivated me to drink more than I would on a regular basis, so let the “experiment” commence.

★★★☆☆ (3/5)
