Some funny moments - adult in content. This seems to be a book that is just making fun of Chuck Norris. I guess I have a slightly different take on him. He really was a 'bridge' between Bruce Lee and the next generation of martial arts actors that became popular - in my opinion his movies are not that bad.

Some are hysterical and some are just crude and too violent for me to find funny. 3, solid middle of the road, stars.

not as funny as part one any more

"Chuck Norris Cannot Be Stopped: 400 All-New Facts About the Man Who Knows Neither Fear Nor Mercy" by Ian Spector

A bunch of offensive and macho jokes

* Jesus follows Chuck Norris on Twitter.
* The reason we haven't found Osama Bin Laden is because Chuck Norris found him first.
* When Chuck Norris tells time, time obeys.
* A solar eclipse is the sun's attempt to hide from Chuck Norris.
* Someone once put Chuck Norris on hold. That's where the term choke-hold comes from.
* A man once broke every bone in his body to avoid Chuck Norris doing it for him.
...

Load of nonsense really. Some are (sort of) funny.

Chuck Norris' computer has a live mouse attached to it.
Bigfoot owns a grainy video of Chuck Norris
Chuck Norris does not have a seat in the UN Security Council; he has a couch.
Chuck Norris built a time machine simply so he could rewatch Back to the Future during its original theatrical run.

Big Chuck Fan! read:" All of Chuck Norris' toes are big toes" and I had to buy the book.

After quickly covering all the pages front to back, one thing became painfully obvious: I read the funniest thing from the book before even buying the book. And the rest was a downhill dumpster fire of derivation. (Nice alliteration btw)

Definitively crass, maliciously crude, and utterly ridiculous, without enough effort towards actual humor, this compilation of Chuck Norris facts was a seemingly extended cash grab from/for the college frat crowd. Each page was a continuation from the last theme until the horse was dead, then one last wring of the cloth for a final derivative.

I did like the periodically interspersed art-based rendition of the Chuck-ism. However, there is no reason to purchase this book. IF you see it, read a couple passages, and move on. Save your cash for
an ultimate Fart Joke or Knock, Knock joke book. Even a "you Might be a Redneck" anthology would be funnier.

I only wish that I had even a chuck-le (no pun intended), mostly read it shaking my head as to how something like this exists, let alone a volume 3.

Thanks for reading.

Juvenile read time.
I needed a laugh.

"A solar eclipse is the sun's attempt to hide from Chuck Norris. "

"Chuck Norris built the hospital he was born in."

"Chuck Norris shot his age at Pebble Beach when he was seventeen."

A collection of Chuck Norris "facts", an annoying number of which are sexual and juvenile in nature, something you would expect from a teenage boy.

[Timo · Rating 5 out of 5]

So much childish fun. Some might find some but offensive, some might find nothing funny, some might find too much macho. I just giggled enough to like this.

Crop circles lay down for Chuck Norris.... Rice Krispies rufuse to make a peep for fear of Chuck Norris.... the stock in belt sanders will forever be high due to Chuck Norris.... and I will never be able to look at sperm without thinking about Chuck Norris's bad ass dominant sperm...lol... Great, great book that kept myself and my old people pee-ing our pants... well, for them it was literally... for me... not so much...lol...

Just when you thought it was safe to venture out, here is another collection of Chuck Norris facts to amuse you. I think I caught one or two repeats, but overall, most of the "facts" are new. Overall, this is an easy and amusing reading. The fact that stuck with me, for some reason: Chuck Norris is the reason Jack is still in the box.

[Charles · Rating 3 out of 5]

I didn't think this one was quite as funny as the earlier two. There was a bit more off-color sort of "factoids" in this one, although there were plenty of those in the earlier two books as well. All in all, though, I got some laughs.

Let's hope Chuck Norris doesn't read my positive reviews of these books and kill me. :)

I paid a rather large sum for this book whilst waiting at an airport to get home from touring with my band. At the time, in my sleep deprived/hungover mind it seemed like a great idea. Apart from a few chuckles and even less laughs this book isnt going to claim any prizes. I gave it two stars on the account that the illustrations that accompany the text was great.

The most inappropriate book I have ever read. I found this in the kid's section at a bookstore. It only took a handful of pages to get smacked in the face with sexual and immoral images and jokes. Not sure whose kids this is appropriate for, but not for any I happen to know.

[Katey Clausen]

Totally Awesome.

[Peter · Rating 3 out of 5]

Reasonably funny, but I still feel like I'm taking the easy way out on my 12 Months, 12 Books challenge. I mostly read this one because I found it sitting around.

[Emily · Rating 3 out of 5]

plenty of out loud laughs, but also quite a few grimmices. I know that they are supposed to be funny, but beating women is never funny.

[Shari Schawo · Rating 3 out of 5]

Silly fun I got this for Zach

[Shelly · Rating 5 out of 5]

Just. Plain. Entertaining.

[William Bradford · Rating 5 out of 5]

One of the funniest books I have ever read.

[Kristina · Rating 1 out of 5]

utter tripe, rubbish, the only good thing was i found the book in my house and i'm sure i didn't spend any money on it.

[Kent · Rating 5 out of 5]

[Sara Parker · Rating 3 out of 5]

It's chock full of Chuck Norris jokes. Enough said.

Oh, and I won it at a white elephant gift exchange. Good times.
