Editorial Review:
The lowdown on the toughest, sexiest, and beardiest man to ever stalk the earth
Since its emergence from the bowels of the internet, the Chuck Norris Fact has roundhouse kicked its way into the world’s consciousness with all the vim and verve of its namesake. Singing the praises of his unequaled toughness, his mighty kicking feet, his indestructible beard, his frightening virility, and his ability to stop time by thinking about pineapples, The Truth About Chuck Norris is the one book brave enough to go behind the beard and reveal the real Chuck.
Ian Spector, webmaster of the site which started the meme and survivor of a real-life encounter with Chuck himself, has selected the 400 most kick-ass facts from his library of thousands, as well as illustrations as awesome as the man himself. This death-defying volume includes such awe-inspiring observations as:
• A cobra once bit Chuck Norris’s leg. After five days of excruciating pain, the cobra died.
• Chuck Norris can charge a cell phone by rubbing it against his beard.
• When an episode of “Walker, Texas Ranger” aired in France, the French surrendered to Chuck Norris just to be on the safe side.
• Chuck Norris was the first person to tame a dinosaur.
• Chuck Norris once visited The Virgin Islands. Afterward, they were renamed The Islands.
• Every piece of furniture in Chuck Norris’s house is a Total Gym.
A must-have paean to the archetypical American male and a bible of all things Chuck, The Truth About Chuck Norris is easily the most important book of all time.
The Truth About Chuck Norris: 400 Facts About the World's Greatest Human Reviews:
Chuck Norris 
2009-12-11 - Although I haven't had a chance to read this book yet , I know it will be great because Chuck is a great guy. He is one of the true patriots in our great country. I get his email newsletters and they are always great , and we also watch his TV show "Walker , Texas Ranger" although we know it is just a program we like to watch it.
Pleanty of inappropriate material 
2009-11-13 - My teenager son loves Chuck Norris lines and occasionally shares them with the rest of us. Luckily I previewed the 1st couple of pages, the use of the F*** word is totally inappropriate. The random collection of one liners is on the surface great until you cross the line.
Why was this published???
2009-10-27 - This is one of the most worthless pieces of garbage ever published. Regardless of the target of the "humor", it is vulgar, tasteless and completely lacking in any taste or literary value. My biggest regret is that I will never get the minute I spent reading it back.
About 1/3 funny and 2/3 vulgar trash 
2009-10-08 - This book, like most comedians, seems to struggle with something funny to say without resorting to references of genitals and sex.
Although it has a few funny lines, I definitely would not buy it had I previewed a few of the pages.
The husband loved it!
2009-10-03 - I bought this book for my husband, he's currently overseas in Irag. In the unit he is stationed with there is always jokes about Chuck Norris going around..it's just something that they do. And everytime I talk to him on the phone the last thing he tells me is the latest Chuck Norris "Fact". SO when I found this book on here I was super excited..I ordered it..and it took longer then I thought it would to get there. But as soon as I got it..it was sent to him. He was suprised to get it..but love it. It was a huge hit and it made a bunch of Soldiers days. And now I am the coolest Army wife there is.
