Review of Almost Everything You Wanted To Know About Tickling
[Following is a volunteer review of "Almost Everything You Wanted To Know About Tickling" by Duncan Taub.]
Almost Everything You Wanted to Know About Tickling by Duncan Taub is a book that expounds upon the details of a very expansive study regarding tickling. This study dived deeply into the concept of tickling and how it affected and played a role in the lives of the 2000 women involved in the study.
This book was so much more interesting than I had expected coming into it! I did not necessarily know what to anticipate when I opened a book that discussed tickling, but I was pleasantly surprised by what I found. The research study that this book discussed was thoroughly planned. While there were some elements to the study that I believed could have been expanded upon (such as defining what “interested in tickling” meant and why the only religion that was included as a subgroup in the study was Islam), the author did an excellent job in conveying the results of the study in layman’s terms. The results were very clearly laid out, and I enjoyed the incorporation of tables to make the information easier to digest. I also appreciated the author’s incorporation of both the strengths and weaknesses of the study, as this added to the candor of the study. I also particularly enjoyed the incorporation of humor in the book. This made the book far more enjoyable than other research studies that I have read, and I really liked the author’s dedication to making this study accessible to readers of all backgrounds!
I loved the incorporation of many personal statements of the women who were involved in the study. This really put the study into perspective, and it was so much fun getting to know more about the individual experiences of women in regards to tickling! Truthfully, I learned so much about tickling through this book. There were things that I had not considered about an act that was so commonplace, such as a possible genetic component and the multiple cultural components that affect the expression of tickling.
There was truly nothing that I disliked about this book. I found no grammatical errors in the book. Overall, I would rate the book 5 out of 5 for an excellent summary of a very unique research study. The study discusses tickling in sexual situations but does not expand further. I would recommend this book to anyone looking to learn something new! With how easy it is to understand this study, this book would be a great stepping stone for those interested in entering the world of academic journals!
