It's been a very long time since I perused a Guinness World Records book. I recall them as paperbacks thick as a telephone book with thin pages, dense texts and rather imposing and dull. This is bright graphics in large, bold fond on quality, opaque pages. This is very entertaining to leaf through and scan.

great book! loved the plot! did u know that the man with the largest brain didn’t even know he had the largest brain because he died and then they weighed the brain so he died and didn’t know he had the largest brain. It’s that sad. what if he was bullied all his life for having a big head and now they praise him for the largest brain. tragic 😢

In the Guinness Book Of World Records there are a lot of unusual and amazing examples of cool and weird records. For instance, sticking 210 straws in your mouth, fastest cars, and the fattest man!!! I was most interested in the fastest rc car because that is a hobby of mine. Did you know that the fattest man weighs a wapping 1,037 pounds!!! If you want to be stunned you should check out Guinness World Records 2004, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, and 10.

This is a halarious book. Some of the records are just plain silly or dumb. Some of the pages were taken out due to inapropriate content :)
