Hilarious yet informative!
Reviewed in the United States on January 9, 2020
I bought this as a gag gift. It is absolutely fantastic! Came packaged well and undamaged. The book is clearly brand new. It is very small in size, being close to the measurements of a post card. It is also hardback. Very funny with its information of different kinds of stool and bowel movements. Yet the knowledge you gain from it is actually worthwhile! I could not resist laughing my head off reading each page. However, I found a lot of the facts very informative and helpful. I would highly recommend as a fun gag gift or even as a book for yourself!

I ordered this for a friend. A different friend told me about it years ago, so I already had one. It is a topic no one likes to discuss, but gets easier as you get older. You realize it is necessary information. My husband and I have laughed and laughed over the "creativity" of the one author describing that tabu topic we all can relate to. Then comes the other author, the doctor, explaining the necessary "health" information you should know about each description. Unfortunately you can relate to these and need to know if it identifies something more serious going on in your body. Very helpful, but hilarious book.

I read this little book in one sitting - but not on the loo, even though my husband did set it beside the commode! It's a very informative read and you will learn the good, the bad and the downright ugly about your 'business'? It's a lighthearted read, but does give you some advice on what might be something you need to ask your doctor about. For instance if you see blood in the commode - it may just be the fact you had a feed of Beets or if not to seek medical advice. Full of little anecdotes with some fun illustrations. You will learn some useful tips - like not to leave your toothbrush near your commode - read the book and it will explain why!

If you ever wondered why is your "product in the bowl" the way it is, you will find the answers right here. Describing every type of "poop", you will learn and laugh along. It is written eloquently, with a sophisticated smoothness which ( minding the book's focus of content) creates a humorous outcome. This book doesn't consists of inappropriate vocabulary, its aim is to inform and entertain at the same time. You will learn. You will laugh.
Some of the chapters are: " Monster Poo, Pebble Poo, Camouflage Poo, Hanging Chad, Number Three, Ring of Fire..."
There are people who would not want to read about this subject. They will never have the understanding then. If you have a curious mind and a decent amount of sense of humor, you will appreciate this book.

This book is THE BEST! I bought it as a Christmas gift for a friend and liked it SO much, I bought another for our guest bathroom! We have a small basket of books on top of the guest toilet and this is BY FAR everyones favorite book to look at while siting in the loo! It tells you everything you want to know about what your poo is telling you! What color/texture/ and smell are telling you about what you ate, what you did, and what your body needs :) Seriously great buy!

This book was a big hit. Because we are the type of family we are, the book was talked about at the Christmas Dinner table. Each person sitting at the table read one passage, then a discussion period followed. Great fun, and there were also so helpful, healthful and educational takeaways as well. We are all more informed on what we leave behind and what it means, or could mean - dietary changes, behavioral changes, or medical attention.
It was smaller than I thought it would be, but it fits in a pocket and is handy.
Great buy.
I may have found a new Christmas Tradition! Cheers.

Perfect as a gag gift or for that poo-curious person in your life! Has actual facts, history and general information about all things poo related and gives names to all those weird poos lol. Leave it in the bathroom as a good book for yourself and guests to help identify their toilet drops

Father read it on Christmas day. Fun for all the family (depending on your family's idea of fun) - not for everyone. But if you're looking at buying this book then definitely for you. I did. Do not regret anything.

Absolutely hilarious. Bought this as a Christmas present for my brother-in-law, and it was a huge hit amongst my entire family. The book is small, but each page is just so funny. If you know someone who talks about poo a lot, he/she would LOVE this!
