5.0 out of 5 stars kept him quiet for hours! , 12 Nov 2008
By CAROLYN (Dorset) - See all my reviews
I bought this book for my nephew who doesn't read (his mother said, grumpily).

Well, he read this. I gather he was heard chuckling out loud and was happy to let his sisters hog the computer, something that had never happened before. He was even apparently quoting from it in the car to and from school and boasted that he'd managed to impress his form teacher with some facts she wasn't aware of. From being the aunt who sometimes feels she buys the dullest presents, I gather I've rather gone up in the ratings... so I've ordered the other books in the series for my two nieces for Christmas. My sister says it wonderful to think there might even be a day when the computer is actually turned off in their house....

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic book - a must read!, 5 Feb 2009
By J. Rouget (Channel Islands) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I bought this book for my 10 year old daughter for Christmas because it was a book she really wanted (not something I would have chosen because of the gross title) and she can't put it down. It's full of interesting facts about anything and everything and she just loves it - a must have for 10 year olds.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fascinating!!!, 4 Feb 2009
By S. Nuttall (West Yorkshire, England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
My daughter got another book by the same author (Why eating bogeys is good for you) last year which she enjoyed. I bought this book for my 12 year old son but find myself having a flick through when he leaves it hanging around. Probably better than the other, compulsive reading, amazing facts!
