Ripley likes to keep up with events and stories that have happened recently so not only will you find articles about things that have happened in the past such as the Wachee mermaids who have been performing since 1947 to things that happened within the last year such as Pokemon Go. This book has over 1,500 all new and all true stories to entertain and fascinate you. I've enjoyed this books for years, I remember buying them at the school book fair when I was younger so I am glad they are still publishing them because now my kids enjoy reading them as well. Some of the stories will make you go "Awwww" out loud, others will make you wrinkle your nose in disgust or feel a little queasy thinking about doing some of the crazy stunts yourself.
Depending on how fast you read, this book may take you a day to read or it could take several either way one thing is for sure and that is the fact you will be entertained the entire time you are reading it. The team at Ripley's did a fantastic job going out and finding stories, photographing everything and collecting information for this book. It is hard cover and it is a stunning blue, the eye on the front appears to be coming out of the book and it is actually a moving 3D image, the eye appears to follow you as you move the book. As always this book gets a ten out of ten from me and I highly recommend checking this book when it comes out. It retails for $28.95 US/$34.95 Canada. August 29th is still over a month away and I know not all Ripley's fans want to wait that long to get their hands on that book so I am giving one of you a chance to win a copy ahead of the release date.
Later this year I will also be stopping by the Ripley's Believe It or Not Hollywood Odditorium so keep an eye out for the review in November.
