Reviews

[Mary K · Rating 3 out of 5]

pretty well written and designed, interesting to see what’s included/omitted. hoping for a follow-up in years to come - they could easily make a whole series out of these

I wouldn't normally leave a review for this, but I strongly disagree with listing the stigmata and the Fatima appritons in the same category as werewolves, vampires, and ghosts, all under the title of "Myths and Magic."

Some good bits, for example the world records.

However there were a lot of things other than world records, which in a book of world records was confusing.

AMAZING

[Alejandro Sosa]

I used to watch some Guinness world record TV show when I was a kid and I was very "innocently" amazed at the wonders that human beings that can achieve. Reading this extensive book now with over 30 years old awakens somehow the child in me

[Vincent · Rating 4 out of 5]

It's a book that contains all the list of people who had broken or achieved world records on 2024. It's a really long book with loads of information and you can get bored reading it but there are a lot of incredible things written in it.

It's overall a good book.

It's the best for 9-13 year olds.
