Title: You can't judge a book by its cover...
Product review: ...which is why I wasted my money on this awful, awful book. The BEST thing is the cover... a great catchy title, and a picture of Richard Dean Anderson's mullet. Cool!Other than that, everything about this book is horrible. As other reviewers have pointed out, it has nothing to do with what MacGyver would have done, and everything to do with pretentious artsy-fartsy writer/advertising/media types trying to deal with everyday reality. I suspect the author sold the concept for the book, pocketed the advance, then suddenly realized he had to deliver SOMETHING... so he called a few dozen friends and transcribed whatever nonsense they dictated over the phone.No Swiss-army knives. No paperclips. Nothing of interest here.I own thousands of books, and love books. I've kept books I've disliked, and I've kept books I've disagreed violently with. But this one hits the recycling bin. It will look better as McDonald's paper napkins.
