Weird Shit True Stories to Shock Stun Astound and Amaze edition by Mark Leigh Humor Entertainment eBooks Reviews
This book is full of fun to read interesting weird facts. I liked it and I think that people who enjoy reading odd facts will enjoy it as well. I received this book free to review from Netgalley.
Funny!! Anything that can be educational and funny at the same time is a win in my opinion. I read some of these out loud and my kids actually stopped and listened. Great gift material and great party material also. Loved it!
Received an ARC in exchange for an honest review.
Weird S*** by Mark Leigh is a strange and wonderful book with unusual and amazing facts you would never believe were true. It has chapters of weirdness from animals, military, sports, art, leaders, sex, food, anatomy, entertainers, the rich, crime, and the law. Those are just a few of the many oddities here. Some are funny, others gross, a few are unbelievable, and others are sad because they are true. A very entertaining book that would be great by yourself, at a party, a bathroom book for that bathroom person in everyone's house, for a gift, or for the living room side table for a conversation piece. I learned a lot out of it, some I really didn't want to know, but it is in there now! I received this book from NetGalley for a honest review and it in no way effects my rating or the content of this review.
I don’t know about you, but sometimes I just don’t have time to sit down and read a novel or non-fiction book, or if I do, I like to have a book I can jump into, read a bit without having to stop in the middle of a paragraph, and get on with what has to be done.
Here’s the perfect book – Mark Leigh’s structured his collection of the odd, strange, and bizarre into categories so you can read the book straight through or pop into one of his categories – perfect for the bathroom, or waiting for your bus, train, husband or wife – and to top it all, one of my son’s Portland, Oregon, bands is included – God Hates Computers! I still have a tee shirt!
Grab this baby and stash it in the bathroom, car, beside your chair or bed, or in a coat pocket, and you can find out just how different people can be!
Mark Leigh has a franchise to collect, refine and redistribute odd facts, silly events, and utter stupidity. These small books are collections of bullet points, no more than a paragraph long, usually worth a chuckle or an eyeroll. Some of it is even useful!
These are some of my faves
-Chico California imposes a $500 fine for anyone detonating a nuclear weapon in town.
-The official greeting in Kingsville Texas is Heaveno.
-Tigers only attack from the rear, so wearing a face mask on the back of your head keeps the tigers away.
-An ostrich’s eye is bigger than its brain.
-Men of the Australian Walibri tribe shake each other’s penises instead of hands.
-A French soldier invented Greco-Roman wrestling. There was no such thing before.
-Venereal disease killed eleven times as many soldiers as the Japanese did in the Burma campaign of WWII.
-The B2 bomber needs 24 hours of maintenance for every hour of flight.
-The actual word for is # is octothorpe.
It’s an easy read, decently balanced – not too much of any one topic.

It seems to me that there are two basic tests for an odd-and-unusual facts bathroom book. Are the facts odd, unusual and interesting? Does the author stay out of his own way?
On that second question I'm happy to report that apart from a perfectly amiable introduction, the author does in fact stay out of his own way. We don't have to hear about how he found each fact, or where he was at the time, or what he feels now about his former girlfriend. And there isn't any boffo rah-rah selling of the material between bits.
The book is broken up into a bunch of chapters by subject matter, and the facts appear in individual paragraphs. The book is organized like, and works like, a standard, if vaguely demented, anthology, (like, say, "Bartlett's Familiar Quotations"), and is eminently skimmable. As to content, we run the gamut from animals, diseases, foods, crimes, physical oddities, sexual peccadilloes, death, famous people, and artworks, to name a few of the categories. Each fact gets a bit of context, and a bit of engaging commentary, but it's not belabored or stupid/cutesy.
That said, some bits are more interesting than others, and we lean more to the freakish side, (anatomy, weird food, ways to die, sexual practices), than the surprising or informative side. Since the point is to just have a collection of weird stuff, well, mission accomplished.
(Please note that I received a free advance ecopy of this book in exchange for a candid review. Apart from that I have no connection at all to either the author or the publisher of this book.)
I always buy my brother a weird/crazy book for his birthday...& this one was perfect!
