Terrible book. And NOT for kids. My in-laws bought this for my child last month. The cover looks innocent enough. I should have read the amazon reviews. Check out the video review showing a screenshot of the story about a guy that kills women (shot one in the back), then keeps the bodies for months and eats them. Then dumps remains in lake. Most of the other short stories are like that. And even if that's your thing, the writing is pretty bad.
My library has it for free. Thanks!
That description actually made me more interested in this book, but I checked the preview on Amazon and this does look like a lazy quickie-type book. Most of the entries are maybe five paragraphs long and the topics aren't grouped in any logical way and seem chosen at random. They're so short, it's only surface level info about anything - I would bet money that this entire book is just Wikipedia articles rewritten in a more conversational style. It doesn't look like any real research went into this book.
