26. The Gruesome, Disgusting and Absolutely Vile Gross-O-Pedia by Rachel Federman


BOOK REVIEW: The Gruesome, Disgusting, and Absolutely Vile Gross-O-Pedia by Rachel Federman

Don’t you just love the thought of grossing out someone like your mum, your little brother or sister or just about anyone you know? However, being gross doesn’t mean you have to be brainless or a good-for-nothing. Gross them out with some really yucky facts instead! This book serves the main purpose of dishing out all facts gross, gruesome, yucky and the whole eulogy of disgusting words you can use to describe something, well, gross.

Loaded with over 500 facts and accompanied by laugh-out-loud illustrations, this book is the ultimate encyclopaedia of grossness, crammed full of facts we all secretly want to know. Plus it’s 100% true and 150% nasty!

Organized into categories such as Outlandish Animal Land, Barbaric Bodies, the Horrors of Modern Science, Icky History, and Farts and Culture, this collection of icky facts is vile enough to make even the nose-pickers, toejam-eaters and belly-lint collectors among us cringe!


As a whole, it is a startling collection of repulsive trivia you will definitely want to know. Swear you will never eat a bug? Chances are you already have. The US government allows 30 insect parts for every 100 grams of peanut butter. On average, most of us swallow about a pound of insect parts every year! I’m sure after reading this fact, some of you may have stopped digging your ears and sucking the very same fingers to reach out for this book!
