5.0 out of 5 starsfun and a great gift
By Mary Bookhounds VINE VOICE on January 6, 2015
Format: Hardcover
I have been a fan of Uncle John's Bathroom Readers ever since my sister got me hooked on them years ago. They are fun and full of useful (and maybe a bit of useless) information. This classy hardbound giftable version is something you would want on the coffee table and not stashed in the bathroom where something could happen to it. You will find it full of interesting items that contains a cross section of lists and strange stories. If you are looking for a perfect gift for that person you never know what to buy for, this is it!

5.0 out of 5 starsKristi's Book Nook
By Kristi Bernard on March 10, 2015
Format: Hardcover
Do you have a brain like a sponge? Do you love trivia? You will love reading Uncle John’s Weird Weird World. Readers will enjoy 288 pages of information you could use. This guide is perfect for reading in the bathroom, bedroom or on the road. Information about the lava lamp can be found here and it is a very interesting story.

If you are into Symbolic Origins then you can learn more than you bargained for about Biohazard, Star and Crescent, the Ankh and more. There are 40 uses for WD-40. It can remove grime from book covers, chrome in bathrooms, eases arthritis, cleans piano keys and cleans dog doo from tennis shoes. Curious readers will also find recipes for cooking road kill.

Why do police officers wear blue uniforms? In 1829 London, Bobbies wore dark blue paramilitary style uniforms. New York City adopted the colors in 1853. If you love a great festival, readers will find 12 of the most bizarre inside these pages. There is camel wrestling, Beltore Fire, Mike the Headless, Chicken Days and a mud festival too.

The Body Farm will tell you everything you wanted to know about decomposing bodies. Located in Tennessee and founded in 1971 by forensic anthropologist Dr. William Bass. An unidentified man from Tegelen, The Netherlands, died at home in 2003 He had called an ambulance because he felt sick, but died before paramedics arrived. The man’s home was full of dozens of pet parrots. Cause of death: asphyxiation due to over powering parrot flatulence.

The pages are filled with interesting facts and little known tidbits, along with things that will make you think. Brainteasers and anagrams can also be found amongst the weird and macabre. Uncle John’s reference guide has something for everyone. It’s so addictive you will want to use it with caution.

2.0 out of 5 starsToo Big to read on the "Throne".
By John on April 2, 2016
Format: Hardcover Verified Purchase
I have read Many of Uncle John's books, and this one was not "up to par"...It had Too many Pictures and not enough Content....Not one of my Favorites...Plus...It is a "Coffee Table" Book, Not a "Bathroom Reader" Book, it's too Big to read on the "Throne".

3.0 out of 5 starsFun read!
By Alexia VINE VOICE on March 27, 2015
Format: Hardcover
Uncle John's Weird, Weird World: Who, What, Where, When, and Wow! is one of those books that you read in small doses so it won't be overwhelming. So many unique, interesting, and yes, weird items in this book!

One of the things that I like about the Uncle John books is that you can pick them up, open to any page, and find something interesting to read! What's different about this book is that it's illustrated. Who knew that pictures would make this series even better?

I wouldn't recommend actually taking it into the bathroom with you because, well, that's weird. But it would be great to read in the living room or before bed! This coffee table book would make a great gift, as there's literally something for everyone inside its pages!
