Ripleys Believe It Or Not is a fun and wacky book that tells you some funny stuff to make you laugh.
The weird facts in this book will make you cringe. Like the woman who married Cindy the dolphin in Israel. I loved this book and reccomend it to all ages. It is like the Guiness book of world records.

This book was awesome! From pink lakes to amazingly true stories, the book has it all. It's more like a magazine, but it's a book. With tons of pictures, this book amazed me and I had fun writing an essay over this book for my English class. If you want a hint about what this looks like, it feels like puzzle pieces and has a man with blue puzzles on his body.

Once you have this book in your hands, you will NOT want to put it down, for real.

GOOD

[Taylor Church · Rating 3 out of 5]

a fine bathroom book, Ripley's makes for some amusing and interesting findings. I found this version a bit odd for the following reasons: I thought an excessive amount of events or stories recounted were either from people or places in England or China. Maybe these countries just elicit more people that love Ripley's, and consequently send in their incredible stories. But it seemed like an editor's bias or something. Also there was far too many typos. But you do not read this book for literary greatness, you read it cause you are bored and you want to learn weird stuff.
