5.0 out of 5 stars A Great Book Jun 1 2012
By Dad of Divas - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Hardcover
This was a book that I could not put down! It is set up in small sections that are so easy to read and so interesting to take in. I found myself saying "really?" so many times as I was shocked and amazed at so many of the stories. I also shared many of these stories with my family as well as many of the stories were too grandiose not to share! I would have to agree that any guy would love this book, especially if they enjoy facts and tidbits that you will probably not find anywhere else!
5.0 out of 5 stars The perfect little black book for that guy in your life. Makes a great gift. Jun 15 2012
By Autumn Blues Reviews - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Hardcover
An eye opening collection of shocking tales for adults, uncensored and raw. Ripley's has take all those tales that were regarded either to dark, extreme, distasteful, profane or even complex for other Ripley's publications. Many of the tales in this book were previously shortened or censored when first published. Ripley's has gone back through their files and searched for the original sources and stories an then included them in this book just for guys. Ripley's has also included trivia in this print which guys are crazy about to make it even more unique.

Ripley's Unbelievable Stories for Guys opens with an interesting fact of the first hybrid vehicle which was actually invented in the 1900's. There are no photos in this printing but that does not in any way take away from all the fun this book is. You get a little bit of everything in this book that guys love including science, history, crime, laws, digital, technical, politics, food plus much more.

I loved reading this book and learning about all these cool and bizarre stories. This title is not for children but I would highly recommend it to the older teens who will find it highly entertaining. The compact size of this book makes it a great gift. It is nice and portable so guys can take it with them anywhere and with it's masculine black hardcover it makes a great gift for that dad in your life.
5.0 out of 5 stars My Husband Loved it! May 10 2012
By Amanda - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
I downloaded this book on my Kindle for my husband to read and he loved it! Our children are fans of the other Ripley's titles and the museums but now my husband is also a fan. He enjoyed the fact that he could read a little bit and find out something new every time he read. He couldn't stop laughing about some of the things he read and was surprised by some of the crazy things people have done. He has told his friends to download it and now our 21 year-old son is reading it. Awesome!
