"WHOA, now I know how to safely remove a human body still touching a live wire, and how to exit an electrified car without getting shocked! Of all the (abundant) knowledge I have that will never be needed, this is the coolest! In the highly unlikely event that I can use this information, the book totally just paid for itself the first time I opened it!" — Apr 29, 2014 01:16PM

"JFC I can't remember the last time I was so confused by a book, bordering on insulted. I finished but I need a cooling off period before reviewing, like the waiting period to buy a handgun.
On the bright side, my husband listened to me rant about it so much! Bless him." — Mar 10, 2019 12:41AM

“If there is any conclusion to my tale (apart from my death, which I hope is yet a good way off), it is that the heart of it will never truly end. Although my memoirs are of course the story of my life and career, they are also a story of discovery: of curiosity, and investigation, and learning, not only regarding dragons but many other topics.

“I have made myself exceptional. It is a wonderful game, is it not? Because I am exceptional, anything I achieve does not reflect on my own sex, for of course I am not like them.
