The guinea Pig Diaries is a hilarious read! In this book Jacobs goes through a series of thought provoking experiments and records the results of these experiments. Some of his experiments include hiring a team of people in India to manage his entire life, he spends a month being radically honest, goes to the Academy Awards disguised as a movie star that he closely resembles, listening to everything his wife tell him to do for a month, and many other crazy social experiments. What I really enjoyed about A.J Jacobs’ The Guinea Pig Diaries was how funny and sweet his writing was. There is also something very real about the way he writes that you feel that you truly and personally know him and are experiencing what he is throughout all of his experiments he does, by the end of this book I felt that I was one of Jacobs close friends. I was told to read this book for one of my English assignments and I absolutely fell in love. A.J Jacobs is the King of Quirk, and he will keep you laughing throughout every chapter you read of the Guinea Pig Diaries. This non- fiction is a good and refreshing break from your typical novel or short story. It is 100% entertaining from the beginning ‘til end and is definitely a cute and quirky book everybody should read. I promise you, that you will not be disappointed. If I were to rate this book I would give it a 10/10! Great Job Jacobs I’m looking forward to reading more of your work!
