Review for Gross FACTopia!: Follow the Trail of 400 Foul Facts
A grossly fun book about foul facts and disgusting animals + more!
I was so excited when I found out that there would be more Factopia books! I really enjoyed the first book, which I found in Dutch at my local bookstore, and so I had to get this one as well, and I will also be getting the new books when they come out!
In this disgusting book we get all sorts of disgusting facts! About poo and pee and leeches and tongues being eaten or stomachs being pushed out to clean them from vomit and such to much more. Some of the facts were new to me. Other facts made me almost puke. Haha. My stomach just cannot handle these things, but I just cannot resist reading books about facts like this. It is just too much fun as well. Sorry, stomach. XD I loved that, just like the previous book, you can follow certain paths. I wasn’t in the mood to switch to another path so I just stayed on the slow path that got all the pages! Maybe when I do a re-read for these books I will get to doing a path or more paths. I am curious what kind of paths there are.
I loved the variety of facts. Not just human stuff, but also animals, food (shivers), strange historical facts, museums and their collections (eww). It was really fun. And I liked that you had a bit of a hint on what would be on the next page (or if you followed on of the paths). Like one would say braiiiinsss or another would say Good Germs.
And I loved that there is a combination of photographs and illustrations! It really made me smile and at times also laugh out loud!
All in all, I need more Factopia! because these books are just too much fun!
