review 1: 3 instead of 4 stars because while some of the animals were HILARIOUS, the second two thirds kind of lagged a bit. I still recommend it for anyone wanting some good laughs mixed with truth and lies.many people have complained about the disinformation that is given in this book, but I find it to be among the best material. It is very much in the style of John Hodgman's books and even in the vein of Stephen Colbert. Are the authors sometimes trying too hard to be funny? yes. Do they expect you to believe that the llama is 125 ft tall? no.
review 2: People who liked F. U. Penguin (the book or the blog) will like this book. The authors take on the fauna of the world in a humorous, often derisive tone, giving each animal a letter grade. The King Cobra gets an A-plu... mores, for example, because they're afraid to give it a less than perfect grade since it's gigantic and deadly poisonous. The wimpy, dorky-looking llama gets an F.This book has very good photos and includes a surprising number of real and interesting facts about the animals featured. It wasn't as funny as I hoped it would be, though. I only chuckled a few times. less
