The Paranoid's Pocket Guide

EW's GRADE
B

Details Writer: Cameron Tuttle; Genre: Reference

Could it be your hair's falling out? Is your Caesar salad swarming with salmonella? Sure you didn't leave the oven on? What if this compendium of beyond-Seinfeldian, fear-inducing factlets gives you worries you never had before (is your alarm clock giving you brain cancer)? What if, snorting back laughter while reading it, you rupture a key blood vessel? What if The Paranoid's Pocket Guide is a best-seller and everyone you know becomes as nervous as Cameron Tuttle, whoever she is? What if she's someone terribly important and you give her little book a bad grade and she ruins your career? B
