By now, we're all familiar with the Chuck Norris phenomenon that has gripped the nation. We all know that Chuck's tears cure cancer - but don't try to make him cry, cuz he'll roundhouse-kick you right in the face. We're familiar with the fact that Chuck doesn't sleep - he waits. And we know Chuck's manhood far encompasses that of any mortal man.

Ian Spector is a genius for first starting the Original Chuck Norris Fact Generator and now for the release of this delightful book. It is a factbook you simply cannot put down - each fact is more hilarious than the last. Personally, I can't wait for the next Chuck Norris book of facts - bring them on, Ian!

When Brown University student Ian Spector created the Chuck Norris Fact Generator in 2005 on his web site, there was no way that anyone could have anticipated the cultural impact of the "facts." Now, actor and martial artist Chuck Norris has surpassed Jesus Christ in Internet search volume thanks in part to the fire that Spector ignited. Yet Spector is still mystified by the phenomena: "I haven't to date seen any movie with [Chuck Norris] except for Dodgeball," Spector told the Brown Daily Herald. "But that doesn't really count."

The book's promotional materials tout it as "easily the most important book of all time." While some may dispute this claim, there's no denying the truths contained in "The Truth About Chuck Norris." The 400 facts assembled here are hilarious and poignant, although some of them veer towards more sexually explicit territory that may put off some Chuck Norris fans.

I had this book in my coat Pocket near the chest. I was walking threw a run down street, when I heard a gunshot I was hit but the bullet his the "truth about chuck Norris" and deflected off not even touching me or scratching the book itself. If it wasn't for this book I would be dead.

This book is funny and entertaining, providing pure enjoyment from cover to cover. Spector's creative humor is simply inspiring. Two thumbs up!

This book is so awesome it has its own beard. In 1987, working together with Chuck Norris's beard, this book freed Ross Perot from a Texas prison. Then they swam to Tijauana and made sweet love to 12 donkeys and a cactus. Twice. No rubbers.

The facts are hilarious and the illustrations are great. This is a perfect stocking stuffer or secret santa gift. Plus I heard that if you buy the book you get moved down Chuck's list of people to kill.

Bought this as a gag gift for a friend, but we were passing it around at the party as soon as he opened it. Everyone was waiting for their turn. Good stuff.

This book makes me proud to know that some fraction of the air I breathe in was once breathed out by Chuck.

This book is hilarious. I'm glad I can read over my favorite Chuck Norris facts in a hard copy. Really funny stuff, I would recommend it for anyone looking for a good laugh.

Received this book as a gift. HILARIOUS! Showed it to everyone, they loved it. Illustrations are absolutely amazing! I died reading it for the first time. Has a lot of facts even I'd never read before.

Would recommend this to anyone who needs a good laugh, or a good gift this holiday season. Happy holidays to all!

This hilarious book collects the best lines from the infamous Chuck Norris Fact generator and adds many more. I'm giving one to everyone I know for the holidays. I expect the first edition will become something of a collector's item too.
