This is one of the best coffee table books EVER created. The entries are strange but often times hilarious.
A Darn Good Book

At first I bought this book as a coffee table book: intriguing writing, great photos, and a "strange" subject. But the book is more than this. It is a gentle commentary about how we humans often view the familiar as normal, and the other fellow's familiar as "strange". Mr. Hopkins amazing life experiences make this a book with a good story.

I bought this book for the shock value. It is a great conversation piece; the topics are definately bizarre. But upon reading it, I became more surprised at the academic way each subject (animal/insect, etc.) was handled. Surpisingly, it is a book that is more thought provoking than shocking. The quality photographs give it a National Geographic look and feel.
Outstanding writing and photos!
