Funny but raunchy

Parts of this book are hilarious but there are also raunchy parts. I have a friend who bought this for her grandchildren but took it back when she noticed things like "Best place for anal sex" in Hungary. Some of the cultural nuances escape me but many are laugh-out-loud funny.

Awesome

I gave this book to my wife for a Christmas present and she loves it. I find myself reading the book as much as she does. Very enjoyable and funny.

The AUDIO BOOK

The audio book contains selected entires from the atlas including several U.S. States, European nations, Asian governments, African territories, South American banana republics, Middle Eastern war zones, and even a few islands that haven't been completely destroyed by Tsunamis yet.

The voices of this audio book are as follows:

Main Reader, a very serious sounding man. He can make you realize how boring places such as Suriname are, or totally multiply the comedy of vulgar places like New Jersey.

Fact Woman, titles and timelines are read as if by an airport PA. Generally not as complementary to the material as Serious Man.

Distinguished Expert, an imitation of a sour old codger reads various sub-articles. Very tiresome and forced. The only reason for the reduced rating.

Some of the more bizarre entires like North Korea and Nicaragua are included. There are definitely a few outrageous surprises and Audio-specific gags in this edition, I recommend it if you can't get enough of the book.

If you are easily offended, skip this one!

This is one funny book in the most EXTREMELY politically incorrect way. I bought four copies and gave them away as gifts: a bold yet foolish move. Three copies brought rave reviews as well as promises to keep them away from the children. I found myself apologizing twice, at least, to the recipient of the fourth copy.
Not a book for the kiddies.

rough but good

Excellent work, so much truly "to the point" nonsense, it makes my head spin...
Some of the humor is very rough, it should have some kind of warning ("not for sissies" or something like that).
