This book was great this book had many facts and was really fun to read. I really enjoyed every part of this book. I cant wait for the Book Of The World Records 2010! I love this book because of all the wacky facts.

I can connect this book to the book called ripleys belive it or not. This is because both of those books have crazy facts and stuff like that. I like both of those books and i hope you do too!

I would give this book 5 stars cause it is really, really fun to read and is a book that i love to read. This is a book that made me never want to stop reading it. I would recomend this to anyone who likes to be amazed from books that have facts and stuff like that.

Finally- one that has lots of the cool photos, but doesn't include the real gross-out ones (though being gross is a sell point for some kids, this one gives me an option).
