Unsuitable topics for my 12 year old
I bought this for my boys (10 & 12) who love random trivia. I decided to flip through it before gifting it, and boy am I glad I did!! Penile Weight Lifting? Get Pussy (Willow) whipped on Dyngus Day? Not the topics or vocabulary I cared to encourage my boys to perpetuate. And sadly, I did not read the reviews about the $5.99 return charge before purchasing this book. I guess I will be gifting it to Good Will. Everyone else, save your money! Or take a browse at your local bookstore to make sure it is what you want to spend your money on.

Too much on the author himself than on fun facts
I got misled by some nice reviews and I bought this book hoping to learn something new and interesting about this world. Unfortunately, the author gives too much room to his stories, his favorite things, what this and that would look like if he had to decide, etc, and eventually, fun facts are not the main topics of this book anymore. A waste of time.

Regret the purchase, pay to return.
This "book" is generic-looking and less interesting than a supermarket paper magazine. I bought it as a small gift for my grandson, who loves interesting facts, but it is so boring, ugly, and cheaply made I decided to return it. Well that's a joke in itself. A $5.99 charge to return it; that's more than 1/3 0f the purchase price, to return a paperback book the thickness of a TV Guide. No shipping charge, so why a return fee? Dont waste your time on this book. It is pathetic.

The outside looks nice but...
It looks very cheaply made on the inside. I’m sure it is interesting to read but I was hoping for something that was more suitable for gift-giving. And if you want to send it back, they charge you to return it so that you receive just a portion of what you paid for it back. Very frustrating. Wouldn’t have wasted my time or money on it had I had known.

Beginning and middle is a great read! The end? Not so...
The book was very interesting in the beginning and middle! But towards the end of the book, the author seemed like he wanted to rush to finish his book, so he threw in a few boring topics in that I thought was not worth reading. Besides that, I did enjoy the book. It is probably just my opinion, but go ahead and give it a read!

This book is fantastic! It is packed full of facts
This book is fantastic! It is packed full of facts, but it reads so well. This isn't just a list to go through, it is entire paragraphs and chapters on interesting topics. This is not something you could simply look up online on a Quick facts site. It is obvious a lot of care and research was done while putting this together.

Hilarious and interesting!
Bought as a gift for my daughter who really enjoys watching YouTuber Matthew Santoro. She loves the book very much and shares the interesting data with us. Without giving away the surprises in the book - let's just say, even I get a good laugh out of the crazy information she shares!

great book.
I love this book. i believe it would be easy to read for people who cannot stay focused long enough to read more than five pages. it's fun, the stories are short and sometimes they are really funny. the stories in here are absolutely AMAZING.

Funny and entertaining facts - some laugh-out-loud content
I was a little bit dubious about buying a book by a YouTuber given that I don't fully subscribe to the whole YouTube thing, (yeah, I know, I'm totally showing my age!), but I thought that it sounded like an ideal Xmas present for my fact-mad almost-teenage son.He has absolutely loved it! The entire book was devoured in a few sessions over a couple of days and those days were frequently punctuated with out-loud laughing and then "Daaaad, did you know...?". To be honest, most of the facts that have been imparted to me I didn't already know and so I'm clearly going to have to have a sneaky read of said book as it sounds like there's some genuinely interesting and genuinely ridiculous nonsense contained within... I think Matthew Santoro has also gained another subscriber to his YouTube channel as my son was suitably impressed.Well done Matthew. A funny and entertaining book that most people should enjoy.

Better for an adult as a present
Good book. Not great for 12 year old as I didn't realise there was so many words. He's going to see it and be put off as there's a lot to read and not fun to look at inside.
