I just started reading this book and I keep skipping ahead to everything and anything that catches my eye because it is a bunch of short facts mixed into one book so you don't have to read it front to back like a normal book. One of my friends at work has already gotten ahold of it and she loved it as well. Tons of interesting facts, not all are so gross. I would deffinately recommend this book! Especially if you've ever wondered what countrys eat weird things like cat/dog/monkey, and what countrys do the men tie their penis in knots? It's tons of useless info, but great topic starters lol.

5.0 out of 5 stars GROSSOLOGY of human & animals
Reviewed in the United States on December 17, 2009
This is fun & deep book in 200? explanations we rarely ask & never see in print, too disgusting for big science to even care or admit. I took 8 years of bio-sciences & never read or discussed what he exposes - the slimy sides of Human Nature, raws foods, body fluids, natural native animals, etc. Mostly outside & far from techy US & Euro where clean-freaks rule. He seems a natural farm man, native hunter or primal hippy ecology writer?.

It also exposes several kinds of organic human instincts that modern 'evolution, biology & medical science' denies to educate masses & researchers, dumbing us down & making more $$$ selling cartoons of nature, while Discovery channel is better than schools? How many kids are now into' Grossology & Disgustology' will enjoy this book & make fun of clean white folks in chemical rooms & on sterile vacations.

In reading it i took lots of notes in capping my 20 year study of 'Organic human Instincts' are too disgusting for educated minds. It's like George Carlin of Biology teasing the rational, Ecofobic & Microfobic fears with simple ??s & tails of animals & Oriental eating live animals parts. We graduated under "Weapons of Mass Instruction" (Gatto), & techy medicine called 'health classes'. Infinite thanx to Voorhees daring primal details & deep courage revealing now, where only Dr. Weston Price DD dared to track natives in 1930s diet, health & teeth connections before white industry took over foods. It's natural history living now, clearly with humor disgusting to our tragic loss of healthy instinctive body functions we don't even talk or tease about.

1.0 out of 5 stars Glaring Errors
Reviewed in the United States on May 9, 2019
This book may be a lot of fun to read, but the obvious mistakes ruin it. They call the whole book into question. Two examples: a vomitorium was not a place where people threw up. A vomitorium is an exit. Just as movie theaters, as well as other businesses, have exit signs, ancient Rome had vomitorium signs. The candiru fish can't burrow into one's urethra. That's an old wives' tale. It doesn't happen in real life. The fish is too big to do what he says.
