This book was great because it is nonfiction and it is about weird and gross stuff. I learned about mites living in my eyelashes. I also learned that in an Olympic event maggots came raining down. A gross facts that will really make you freak out is ever time you flush the toilet we inhale intestinal bacteria. Blood pudding is made in many places in Germany. It is made from the blood of pigs and is put into sauchages. The next time you drink raspberry you might want to know that you are drinking or eating a substance called castoreum which is found in bever's anal musk gland. Yuck.

This book gets five stars because it is a really good attention getter. It is really interesting to learn about what some people eat, drink and some things that have happened in history. I know the next time a flush a public toilet I am going to cover my nose. I also know that I won't eat anything rasperby anymore. ( )
