This book was awesome! I haven't read all of the Ripley's Believe or Not books, although I do have some editions, but this one is definitely my favorite! This book is full of 245 brightly colored pages, with thousands of amazing facts and stories. Each set of pages are split into sections such as "Animals", "People", "Beyond Belief", "Pop Culture", etc. Some of these stories are insane! For example, one of my favorites is about Brittany Walsh. She can shoot a bow and arrow with her feet, and do all sorts of tricks while standing on her hands! And did you know "Cleopatra actually lived closer in time to the building of the 1st Pizza Hut than the building of the Pyramids"? Another page I especially enjoyed was a two-spread page about Pokémon, as I am an avid player of the game. To make my point, there were so many unusual stories, and yet many of them happened to everyday people. Another thing I really liked about this book is that at the very beginning there are a couple pages about Robert Ripley, who was the original author/collector really liked learning about how this legend first began the series. There were also tons of colorful pictures that captured the stories perfectly. This book could be used as entertainment for hours of fun, and would be a lot of fun to share with a friend or family member. It was so much fun to see all the variety of facts and stories-you never knew what you were going to read. I think this is the best Ripley book yet. And as there are both stories and photos, I recommend this book to people of all ages. I rate this book 5 out of 5 stars.
WOW! I just finished Ripley's Believe It Or Not: Shatter Your Senses (2018), and it was SO COOL! Discover tons of wacky, weird, and unbelievable facts on each interesting page. These tidbits will make you think, stare, laugh, and go and tell your family and friends because you just can't believe it! Did anyone know that actor and pro wrestler Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson is afraid of spiders, roller coasters, and miniature horses? And that there is a women who can shoot a bow and arrow and get a bulls-eye... using her feet?? This book also featured stories from people just like you and I who sent their incredible and strange experiences to Ripley's. I learned A LOT from this book, as it also had whole pages dedicated to fascinating stories, like women samurais of the past! The cool graphics and captivating photographs were the perfect icing on the cake. I really enjoyed reading this, and I'm sure you will too, as any age will love to dive into this amazing (and big!) book that will "shatter your senses!"
Ripley's Believe It Or Not books are always fun and interesting, and the 2018 was just as amazing. Every page is filled with captivating facts that will blow you away. For instance: Were you aware that over 1,000 robots danced in unison in a festival in China? Or that for over 200 years elephants were a show attraction by performing tricks like playing musical instruments, playing baseball, and even riding bicycles? That is just a tiny, tiny sliver of the facts in this book! Ripley's Believe It Or Not! Shatter Your Senses truly has something special about it, and I know you will never be bored by it. I highly suggest this awesome book to boys and girls of all ages, and trust me, you won't regret reading it.
The 2018 edition of Ripley's Believe It Or Not! is an AWESOME book! It has so many interesting (and some creepy!) facts. To start, the front of the book is just as cool as the inside. It caught my attention right away because of the "holographic" eyeball on the front. Inside, I learned about SO much stuff! For example, did you know a man trained a polar bear and he trusted it so much that he let it bite his head? And there is a lady who made her face look like a dragon's face? She has lots of tattoos, too. I got to see a photo of her in the book. I liked that there were a lot of cool photos. Also, I love Pokemon! I was so excited to see that there is a whole two pages of just Pokemon fun facts! I think this book is lots of fun for kids to read, but I liked sharing the facts with my parents and older siblings. It's cool to know facts about a lot of topics. I'd recommend checking this book out!
