Ok so i ordered it for my DH for a birthday present. Tempting as it was, i had to take a peek in it. When i learned there are various was to produce red, blue, and green "poopies" I realized i found him the perfect book.

This book would make a great gift for the boy(s) in your life who like gross stuff. I cant wait to read through it more thoroughly after his birthday. It looks like its going to be a fun book. Not your traditional bathroom reader, but it totally fits the bill for it!

There are, however, topics of a more adult nature, so i do not reccomend this for younger children.

Actually, a very fun book...if you can stomach it!
If you like to know weird, strange and off the wall facts that most people don't know....and some don't want to know...then this book is for you!
Some disgusting things we've all heard about and others that I guarantee will be new ones to you! There are a few in here that I'm really trying to forget!
I don't recommend this as after dinner reading...
