## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Stories are mostly missing detailed "lessons learned" sections at the end.
  

*by J***F on Reviewed in the United States on June 24, 2015*

This book wasn't as good as I thought it was going to be.  The stories of each disaster are good, but I was also expecting a detailed post-mortem on each one, listing and discussing all the things that went wrong, the lessons learned, and more details on the fixes that were applied afterwards.  There's almost none of that in the book!  The things that went wrong, or were poorly designed, are only mentioned in a conversational way during each story, and sprinkled around the rest of the story.  So I felt like almost every story wasn't finished, they need a proper conclusion to each one.  I was disappointed about that.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Good stories
  

*by J***R on Reviewed in the United States on March 14, 2019*

I had to get this for a college course but read the whole thing.  It tells industrial accident stories very well.  More like hearing about it from an informed witness than a formal write up.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Required Reading for Engineers and Safety Professionals
  

*by F***N on Reviewed in the United States on May 20, 2001*

I first read Set Phasers on Stun (the first edition) as a textbook in one of my safety classes in college. In addition to being one of the most entertaining textbooks I ever had, it also had the deepest impact on me as far as illustrating how quickly and easily catastrophes can happen. Many of the cases presented in the book leave you shaking your head and wondering how such a simple mistake or oversight could lead to such horrific consequences.I've used many of the cases in this book as examples when trying to make a point during my safety career. I would highly recommend this book to any engineer or safety professional. It's also entertaining reading for anyone with an interest in technology and complex systems.
