    A Freakishly Interesting Book
  

*by F***T on Reviewed in the United States on May 13, 2020*

I haven't finished reading this entire book yet. But, what I've read thus far has been interesting, at times quite shocking, sometimes sad, sometimes hilarious and just all around great.There was one section of the book that talked about "freaks" or mutants that had a second head somewhere on their body and some of these heads even talked. Man! That was freaky and crazy to read about! It even drove one poor afflicted soul to end his life because the thought of that made him nuts. I can't say I blame him, having a second head on my body that would babble or even talk would drive me completely insane too I think. That's just one of the many interesting and completely bonkers stories you'll get in this book with its eye popping, Total Recall-esque, cover.I've tried to include a smattering of some the wild, real life photos you get in this book in my photos I've attached to this review. Some of them were a little too explicit to share though. Nothing too obscene in my opinion. But, I probably wouldn't let any children check this book out.  If you did it would probably give them nightmares without the context of understanding the book. Heck, it may even give a few adults nightmares too.A book cannot live just on its cover alone I don't believe. But I think that this one scores some pretty high marks on covers for books you own, that are most likely to make your friends or company go - :-O. This definitely will be a great conversation starter if you leave it on your coffee table I would bet. Though, unless a prospective date is already into this type stuff, I probably wouldn't try to break the ice by showing your date the photos from this book of the guy with a second head growing out of his forehead. I mean, I might do that, but that's probably why I'm still single at the moment.Overall, I'd have to say that I'm quite pleased with my purchase of, Freak Babylon. It was shocking and yet very entertaining, informative and educational as well. I'm glad I own a copy and I would definitely be happy to check out any other books by this author on this subject or really anything else, the book was very well written in my opinion too. I hope this review was helpful to others, thanks.
