For as long as I can remember, Ripley’s Believe It or Not has been known for their shocking books, museums and other attractions. We love taking trips to Gatlinburg in our home state of TN and visiting the Ripley’s Aquarium and Museums. All you have to do is mention the name Ripley’s and people know they are in for something out of the ordinary. When I was offered the opportunity to check out their new Reality Shock Book, I was of course interested and intrigued to see what all I would find inside.
This is a book that you leave under the coffee table and it becomes the topic of conversation and your guests just have to pick it up and see what is inside. My 9 year old son loves it, he has gone through the whole book and when his cousins and friends come over he has to point out his favorite things from the book. There are six sections of the book to astonish you.
- ANIMALS – meet real-life wolf-man Werner Freund, who lives with a pack of wolves and feeds them directly from his mouth
- SPORTS – find out why the new British sport of bubble soccer is such a kick
- BODY – you won’t believe how a 56-year-old grandma can function with 18-inch long fingernails; she hasn’t cut them in 20 years!
- FEATS – Canadian Lonnie Bissonnette is like no other BASE jumper – he hurls himself off bridges in his wheelchair
- ART – learn about one photographer’s “Snot Shots” – they certainly are something to sneeze at
- FOOD – people at one festival dine on octopus – while it’s still alive!
Reality Shock! delivers strange stories, bizarre bits and twisted tales like only Ripley’s Believe It or Not! can. The content ranges from cute to creepy; what’s “great!” to one reader is just plain “gross!” to another – that’s part of the fun of Reality Shock!
