Title: Buyer beware
Product review: I recently purchased this book, very excited to get a bunch of real MacGyver-type stories. Unfortunately, I only got through the first three before having to give up.Does the author really think the real MacGyver would be proud of these three? Knitting needle as a clutch cable pin? Yawn. Snack mix for traction? Is he serious? And here's a beauty: Waiting for someone else to come by because you're so worthless at fixing your own muffler? They don't exactly grab you... Certainly not anything close to what the real MacGyver would do.Perhaps there are better, more worthy stories later in the book. I'll never find out. The three I listened to attempted to be so "eloquent" that they became nauseatingly "cutesy". Way too verbose for the actual amount of informational value. Self-celebratory to the point of being repulsive.I loved the show, and with equal emotion, loathe this book.
