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!
