What Would MacGyver Do?: True Stories of Improvised Genius in Everyday Life Audiobook

" Entertaining enough for a plane ride, nothing special "

" Some interesting stories, even a couple that do seem to be inspired by the television show that the book draws its inspiration from. But the introductions to each section lean more to the lackluster, sometimes more or less recapping each of the stories that are in the section. "

" I am a MacGyver tv show junkie. LOVED the show growing up. So my wife gave me this book almost as a gag gift. But it's actually really awesome!! "

" half way through. pretty unimpressive feats of not really living up to macgyver's legacy. "

" I loved watching 'MacGyver' as a kid and when I got this book I wanted to see what creative ideas people could come up with. The book starts out good, but some of the later stories should not have been included because they are just nonsense... I think some people have never even watched the show to actually come up with a bright idea that could "save the day". "

" A should-read book in finding humor in the workplace. "

" I was hoping to hear (I listened to the audiobook) more stories like the first one, about real ingenuity, but they were mainly crowd-sourced anecdotes of minor problems, with obvious solutions. "

" A quick read that inspires problem-solving through means often unrelated to the original problem. Humorous, though a bit heavy on content from Esquire magazine. Would have liked to have seen submissions from a broader segment of society. "

" Meh, very few seemed like actual MacGyverisms. "

" Great idea for a book but poor execution. I was looking more for stories of explosives made with paper clips and Diet Coke, not coffee brewed with socks. It doesn't quite deserve the MacGyver mullet on the cover. "

" None of these stories are better than MacGyver but some were pretty funny. One of my favorites was making coffee usinga dress sock... "

" Maybe MacGyver was so awesome that everything is lame compared to the real thing. "

" Interesting tidbits of ingenuity. But what are their plans for the Zombie invasion ? "

" Some funny stories, some Duh stories. Good entertainment, but I'd read it at the library instead of paying for it. "

" If you can get past the author's introduction of who he is, why he wrote the book and how he did it, which seems to take forever, the rest of the book (book on CD) is OK. But just OK. Neat idea, but lacks the pizazz I expected from this type of book. "

" The book doesn't really answer the question it sets out to. "

" good coffee table book "

" Funny! Some of them were a bit of a stretch to call them MacGyverisms, but it is a funny read. "

" Want to be like MacGyver? This won't do it. "

" Utterly pedestrian tales of people getting out of scrapes. Very few are ingenius or clever. Dry, dull, disappointing. "

" I thought this book would be way better, but the stories were disappointing and not nearly as "MacGyverish" as I would have thought. I wonder how bad the ones were that didn't make it into the book. "

" half way through. pretty unimpressive feats of not really living up to macgyver's legacy. "

" Do not waste anytime whatsoever on this book. It is misleading and awful. If you need more info, go to Amazon and read the dozens of "HATED IT" reviews. "

" These short stories of "Macgyverisms" were a fun distraction while I was doing my holiday baking. I never watched the show, but was familiar with the concept. I appreciated the creativity that the contributors showed. This may appeal to YAs too, especially hands-on type guys. "
