Customer Reviews

Interesting reading

I got this book for my 17-year-old for Christmas. Full of all sorts of "interesting" stories relating to the "whys" of the world, such as why fish fart! Doesn't everyone want to know that? We've had a blast perusing this book.

This Book is Tasteless! And Impossible to Put Down...

Do you want to read about anal hair? Of course not!!! The only problem is... secretly... you DO! I thought this book was as interesting and funny as it was gross. A better gift for a man, but oh well, my husband has a sense of humor. Remember those old Encyclopedia Brown stories you read when you were a kid? Well, this is the adult version. A perfect book for any fact junkie who likes to be the center of attention at parties. Really, though... the book is really funny. If for any other reason, buy this book so you can find out what kind of coffee is made with an added sprinkle of poo. Seriously. Yes, I'm serious. Poo. Now you HAVE to buy it. Recommended: with a laugh
