Reviews

[Rose | Belletrist Anarchist · Rating 4 out of 5]

I’ve kept this book since my 10th birthday and let me tell you, it did not disappoint all of these years later. I’ve always been a Ripley’s Believe It or Not! stan. Who doesn’t love learning about zany facts and weird mishaps?

Four out of five, only because I’m skeptical of a few of the stories from the 18th century.

My sons (8 & 12) both read this. Each one was interested in different things. Of course now they are full of information and keep asking me "Did you know..." Lot's of fun.
