Book Reviews of Guinness World Records 2009 (Guinness Book of Records (Mass Market))
Book Review: Good
Summary: 5 Stars
I'm Megan (-5th grader.) The Guinness book of world records is full of exhilarating fun facts, and creepy stunts and accomplishments. Most of the "records" in the book are like longest hair, tallest legs, and everything in between. This is a book I would consider reading it on a rainy day, or just when you need something interesting. If you do, I'm just about sure it will suit all the needs to read it!! Everything about it is most likely unusual to many people. (Some of them I was shocked to see.) Mostly, a lot of people find it intereststing of all the fun facts and things that the people could do!!! Anyways, if you are bored one day, I would recommend this book 100 percent great to read!!
