This cover photo is going to give me nightmares. Also, my kids made me turn every page first because they were afraid of it. Who can blame them? Overall, I felt this series to be a little tired.

My girlfriend got me this as a Christmas present (should I break up with her?). It seems more designed for an easy read for young kids. I told her I could have written this crap myself. There's less than 150 pages, with about 2 or 3 cool things per page. I could probably make a blog and come up with more cool shit than this over a year's time. (I can't see myself bothering with it though).

There were a few interesting things in the book, but it's filled with stuff we've all seen before. Take the cover as an example... 'Oh, wow... some dude cut his tongue and tatooed his face like some asshole so he could look like a green person... oh, wait... he's supposed to be a lizard man... cool...".

I suppose you already know if you're interested in this book. Even if you are interested in the book I think it would be nice if it had more content. I mean it only took me about 30 minutes to read the whole book, so it doesn't even hold up as a coffee table book.

This annual edition of the “Believe it or not!” series does not disappoint. Roughly grouped into six categories, this version presents updated information on a variety of singular events and wacky and bizarre people and animals. Aside from the usual freakish entries, there are some fascinating tidbits such as the woman who crafts display food items out of fabric. Loads of color pictures, a 3-D cover and a vibrant format add to the enjoyment. This is definitely not a must-have purchase, but these books are always popular with all age groups. They are ideal for browsing and discussions. Order at your discretion.

This annual edition of a popular series presents new information on record-breaking events that are both strange and unusual.
If you have readers who enjoy the unusual, the gross, and the weird, then purchase this book. Written in a format that will attract the younger reader, this series is similar to another one already on your reference shelves. Plenty of pictures, facts, and a wide variety of topics will interest the reader. Recommended for optional purchase. Grades 3 and up.
