Review: Fascinating book my kids will not put down! - I purchased this book thinking that my kids would like it. I however was wrong, they LOVE this book. My daughters found the sections on pop culture and art to be fascinating. They loved the photographs and reading the descriptions that went with them. My sons loved the sections on animals, sports, and body to be amazing. They have been quoting facts to me that they have learned from the book, and I am amazed at how much they have learned. The boys have actually bickered over who would get to bring the book to school first for show and tell. I cannot thank Ripley's enough, you created a book that was able to pull my children away from the lure of electronics and got them reading this book constantly. It is refreshing to see this is the first book they reach for as soon as they are done with their homework. I have been reading it as well, and the section on feats is what fascinates me the most. I am looking at some other Ripley's books as Christmas gifts for the kids. Keep up the excellent work.
Review: a most wonderful gift - I received this book as a gift and I thought, wow, I'm too old for this type of book, I‘m in my 60s. Then I started reading it and haven't stopped. It is full of the most interestingly bizarre and laughable photos and stories. If you want a diversion from everyday life, you will enjoy this Ripley’s “reality shock”. Friends were visiting with their 6, 12 & 16 y.o. kids and they are having so much fun reading the book they wanted it. Nope, its staying with me, but now I know what to give as gifts. All I can say is you can never be too old or too young to enjoy this comprehensive and entertaining 12 chapter book. You can tell that Ripleys takes pride in publishing their books. The book itself is hard covered and made of high quality paper and photos. I’m just so impressed.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Reality Shock Impressed
*by E***R on September 27, 2014*

This book is great! From the literal "eye catching" cover to the fantastic colorful pictures to the odd almost unbelievable facts, this book totally captures the attention of adults and children alike. I bought it for my two daughters. Many times over the past couple of weeks, I have walked into the room to find them both with their heads together poring over the outrageous details in this book and giggling and gasping at what they read. It sticks with them too as many random times, I then hear "remember that picture from the Ripley's book?" They each have their favorite stories already. Who can resist a skateboarding mouse?? I too found myself engrossed in the detailed pictures in this book, which draw you into the amazing superlatives. I love the international stories in the book and especially appreciated some of the historical facts which are still as fascinating as current events. There are pictures of a tightrope walker from the 1850's juxtaposed with a picture that almost seems futuristic of a man hanging from a skyscraper in Moscow. As I am sitting here writing this, my ten year old just took the book away to find another fact that stuck with her while she was exploring this book. This book was well worth it and a welcomed addition to our collection. Highly recommended.
