5.0 out of 5 stars "Greta Garbage" knew what she was doing., March 26, 2002

This review is from: That's Disgusting : An Adult Guide to What's Gross, Tasteless, Rude, Crude, and Lewd (Paperback)

Often, books marketed as humorous that also propose to be informational are quite lacking: the author fashioning thin scraps of actual data and expanding it with desperate attempts at humor and insight.

Here is a book that is genuinely funny and rife with fascinating information. Sections (and the book itself) may be short but are dense with interesting and well-substantiated facts and observations. There is so much information that the book could be used as a reference or companion to more serious works on scatalogical subjects. The author seemed to be exhaustive in including all manners of body fluids and biological wastes and deposits - exploring the scientific and historical aspects of each.

I'd like to know Greta Garbage's real name, or her other non de plume(s), hoping that this would lead me to other works of equal wit and research.

5.0 out of 5 stars Yuck, November 26, 2002

In case you haven't figured it out yet: This book is not for the squeamish.

Purely disgusting, rude, crude, and lewd--guaranteed to make you squirm. I didn't think it would be able to disgust me, but I was PLEASANTLY surprised.

This book is a real GOLD mine--a treasury of TRUE facts that are too hideously revolting to be fictional--beautifully organized into many chapters.

Presented humorously--but not for little kids; about 1/2 of the facts have something to do with something sexual.

5.0 out of 5 stars So disgusting -- I couldn't stop reading! Endless amusment!, August 9, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: That's Disgusting : An Adult Guide to What's Gross, Tasteless, Rude, Crude, and Lewd (Paperback)

After reading each fact I repeatedly wanted to pick up the phone and read them to my friends. This is the broadest mix of disgusting facts and quotes I have ever seen. Personally, the most amusing thing to me, was finding myself repeating the title of the book out loud, over and over as I read! "That's Disgusting!" Everybody should own this book.
