I'm surprised 10 people out there liked this book. 55 ways to have fun with google? I haven't had any fun yet. 90% of the "hacks" don't even work! History of google? History of the internet? Google promotional items? I dunno, maybe everyone else's expectations were far lower and they were pleasantly surprised, but I expected something interesting and that it is not. This is the first book of hundreds that I actually consider a waste of money. Anyone want to buy my copy? I've had it a week and am seriously considering trashing the thing.
this book needs an important tag...lol

The variation in style of each chapter was quite refreshing. Some chapters are quite short, others consist of just pictures, there are a couple of quizzes, short stories, a few games you can play with Google, plenty of interesting facts and many other things you can do with Google.

...

In conclusion, I think that 55 Ways is an excellent book for anyone who has an interest in Google or just wants to know what else you can do with the most popular search engine in the world. This isn't a complicated reference guide on how to use Google as a tool – it's an entertaining book on how to use Google as a toy!

Mark Draughn received a review copy of the book and helped with suggesting changes for the final version, and he comments:

"Philipp is the author of the Google Blogoscoped blog, which is consistently one of the most interesting technical sites on the web. It's more than just news about Google services and Google the company--although there's plenty of that--it's also about interesting things to do with Google.

If you're interested in search engines and what you can do with them, Philipp's blog is worth checking out, as is his book."

Justin Flavin in his blog on the book title writes:

"I love the idea -its not a "dummies" book that patronises you - nor is it an O'Reilly super-technical book. Its just a "hey, lets have a bit of fun" kind of book. An interesting meme."

I read Philipp Lenssen's interesting blog and I was looking forward to the book, however, unless you've never heard of Google or you just want to waste a lot of time, I'd recommend saving your 16 bucks for a few lattes.

Miel Van Opstal received a preview copy of the book and writes:

"I had a great time reading it and there's a lot of cool things about Google that I didnt know yet which Philipp explained and now make more sense. I was surprized to find out how many Google Games there are to be played and indeed, Google is more than just a search engine. It's a source of happiness, fantasy and fun. Google can become a way of life, not just a tool to help you look for answers."
