Synopsis

About this title

Product Description:

Unusual book

Review:

Some eye-popping photos combine with Defoe's amusing text to higlight some of Mother Nature's crueller jokes. With facts that will keep you in dinner party conversation for many months, it's ...a laugh-out-loud read, which proves your sex life could always be worse! (FQ MAGAZINE (December 2005))

Gideon Defoe's satirical picture book mixes laughs with plenty of did-you-know facts about lesbian lizards and detachable penises. (WHAT'S ON IN LONDON (8.12.05))

It's a small book, and the style is quite jokey, but every one of the anecdotes contained therein is capable of bringing dinner party conversation to a complete standstill. (Luis Villazon BBC FOCUS MAGAZINE (January 2006))
