Book Review of Disgusting Things: A Miscellany

Disgusting Things: A Miscellany
bubblebee avatar reviewed on + 49 more book reviews


Actually, a very fun book...if you can stomach it!
If you like to know weird, strange and off the wall facts that most people don't know....and some don't want to know...then this book is for you!
Some disgusting things we've all heard about and others that I guarantee will be new ones to you! There are a few in here that I'm really trying to forget!
I don't recommend this as after dinner reading...
