review 1: I don't really care for this book because it is meant for a younger age group and seems to be very immature. I think this book should be for a younger audience.One entry of the book says that a guy from Germany built the heaviest motorcycle in the world and it ways over 5 tons and he won 6 different records for his motor cycle. One other entry from this book is that they made the worlds biggest coca cola and mentoes rocket. They used over 300 2 liter bottles of soda and over 12 thousand mentoes. They won 3 awards for it. One last entry was the worlds heaviest car. The car weighed 17 tons and that owner of the car weighed 800 pounds so that was a heavy car. He won 12 awards for his car and one for him because he is the heaviest gut to fit into a compact car and drive it leg... moreally. This book is more for a younger audience that are like in 6th grade and mostly for boys and I would recommend this book to 6th graders. This is because of the immaturity and also because of how easy it is to read and not long sentences at all.These stories are very interesting and a lot of them take place in America but they are all over the world. I rated this book a 1 out of 5 stars because some of the things in this book should really not be in this book they are disgusting and is showing a lot of immaturity.
review 2: Many people are familiar with this annual work. It's a lot of fun! Taking a look at the sometimes exotic records of the day is most enjoyable. This version, for better or worse, also features (ugh) a set of glasses that allows one three-D views of certain pages.Lots of odd records dot the pages of the 2009 volume, such as America's tallest person (7' 8"--sounds low to me!); the world's longest crawfish boil (got me what that means by the well known cooking artist Paula Deen); loweat mammalian body temperature (Arctic ground squirrel), longest drive with alternative fuel ((23,697 miles using natural gas); best-selling video game; etc.Anyway you cut it, this is a lot of fun! less
