Light reading to be sure as each fact is only a sentence or two long, but wow, this book has something for everyone with a plethora of subjects and information about each.Easy read, sure to send your friends to their phones so they can Google for more information. Some facts seem a bit odd, some a bit too far fetched to be true and some that are a bit weird. There are a few that would come across as 'off color' for groups with youngsters. I found it odd that they included some of those and never warned anyone in their advertisement.Still a fun reader. You can amaze and astound your family and friends with this gee whiz information. A 5 star book that gets a slight demotion for the NSFW material.

I love this book, my 12 year old is a huge nerd full of random facts so I thought this was perfect for him…only there are a few Inappropriate facts in there..not enough to where he doesn’t still have the book but enough that he came to show me. Luckily he’s pretty mature so no biggie. MANY awesome random facts in here!

Given as a gift they loved it! Great for those who have inquiry mind!

A great book for the entire family to enjoy. Lots of information. Fun to read as a family.

My son loved this gift! He read it cover to cover.

I bought this for my 7 yo daughter because she loves learning facts… thank goodness I looked through it before giving it to her. The cover insinuates it’s a kids book IMO.

Good

This book is falsely advertised to seem as a children’s facts book. I am totally dumbfounded why the need for facts about heroine, cocaine and genocide including serial killer mentions are in this book!! I have an 11 year old son who has an inquisitive mind asking me questions on what this all meant. One I was never prepared for that and 2 who the hell puts facts like that in a KIDS BOOK?!!! I’d advise a re run through targeted audiences and a warning label on why is included in the content!!!

Self published book no pictures or illustrations. facts are not suitable for children (Illegal drugs and crime etc). I brought it for a boys present and had to send it back.

I bought this for an 11 year old, but it isnt what I was expecting. Better for an adult.The book is flimsy and poorly made.The cover is curling and dog eared and all I've done is get it out of the box and have a skim through.The lay out is boring.No colour, no variation to the format throughout, although there are chapters. Just lots and lots of bullet points.Proofreading hasn't been up to scratch as I found a basic error within 5 minutes.The content isn't really suitable for children with references to drugs, urban myths and crimes.It is America-centric, so there are cultural references about old TV shows not broadcast in the UK, crimes famous the other side of the pond, plus the usual about elementary school, jocks etc. That's not a problem, just something to be aware of.I thought it might be a nice alternative to Ripley's Believe It Or Not for my youngest child, but no, I'll probably have a read then pass it to my dad instead.

I was disappointed with this book. I bought it for a nine-year-old who would love that kind of thing but it has 'facts' in it that are not appropriate for children even though it was sold as being suitable.

I cant say if the book is good or not as it was bought as a present. Please see the pictures i uploaded
