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.

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.

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.

I found this book to be delightful, and chock-full of sick,twisted,and often downright funny tidbits plus tales of the odd,unusual, extraordinary, bizarre and disgusting. Every time I flipped a page, I found something amusing--and horrifying. This book should be in every bathroom, waiting room and church in America!

This book is a must have for those of you with a cast iron stomach.
There are topics covered here that will, I'm sure, gross out and
repel some folks. I happened to love everyone of them. This book
is a treasure to have.

I received this book as a gift and was pleasantly surprised. It covered a wide range of risque but tastefully presented topics, the information was well cited, and the author's use of wit was in top form.

This book is full of interesting and informative tidbits. But some of the language used really turned me off. Seeing post-op MTF transsexuals called "women" with quotation marks makes me see red. And after about the third occurrence of terms like "pervert" and "sicko," I was more disgusted by the author than by the grossness being described.

I like books like this, but it wasn't exactly what I had hoped for. I would've liked it more if the chapters could have had more on each topic (some topics only had maybe a half a page to the most on the subject), and maybe less wise-crack humor (some sounded like the author was trying too hard to make a joke). Other than that there were some things that i did find myself giggling about, and i also found some things quite fascinating and even a bit disgusting lol. All-in-all I'd give it 3 1/2 *'s.

Yes some of it was gross and interesting, but otherparts were just plain dumb. Not worth the money...borrow it from a friend.

This is one of those conversation starter books. A great book to add to the toilet library. I read this in a day (on the couch not in the powder room) and it was great!!! Very funny and kind of gross when you consider the truth behind it!
