The Book of Bizarre Truths Reviews
-
I just love trivia and miscellaneous informationl
-
This is a fun book full of information that you may never need to know but is gun to know. I learned some things in here like hookworms might be the cure for hayfever and the amount of rain needed to fall for a place to be considered a rain forest. Some info it seemed was basic, but others were very interesting.
-
The book was better bound than I thought it would be (padded hardcover). There are a range of topics with interesting facts.
-
I got this book for Christmas as a gag gift, but it actually is really interesting facts that I can brag to my friends about. (I haven't yet but I will)
-
If you know me personal, I promise you, all of my random annoying fun facts come from this book.
-
Not my thing
-
I can't really say that I've "read the whole thing" but I have skipped about reading the parts that interest me personally. Possibly the best part that I've read so far is about Calico Jack and his fellow pirates. They are arguably some of the most interesting characters in history.
-
Amazing, I did skip a few stories but most of them are so interesting. 5/5
