I mean I personally am not one to get all up into the hype of these things. Mainly for the reason that if I allowed myself too I would certainly then have to try to break some sort of record and it sounds like a bit more work than I'm in to (haha). And that's why you'll find I only own and therefore will only review a few. .....Now that being said I find them totally fricken awesome and unbelievable!!

Full of stuff I didn't really need to know but love reading about anyway.

I think that I've just been wayyyyy to spoiled with my beautifully drawn out and designed National Geographic Almanacs.

Either way, there were two things that really made this book super disappointing: the first one being that it was very poorly designed, the graphics felt low budget, and the photography and images within the book looked pretty second hand and stolen, the written descriptions also felt pretty boring and unnecessary languid.

The second one being, that it only showed all of the female accomplishers with little or nearly any clothing, which sucks, 'cuz it felt like the men got to wear stuff and women didn't...

An interesting read. I got this when I was a child and remember being fascinated with all of the interesting facts. Filled with the weird, wonderful and gross.
