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. AN UNAUTHORIZED PARODY

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect Gift for Someone Who Loves Chuck Norris
Reviewed in the United States on January 2, 2015

This was a gift for my "Walker: Texas Ranger"- loving brother, and it was absolutely perfect for him. I don't usually buy gag or coffee table books, so I made an exception for this.

It's very funny, and it was actually something that we sort of read together and laughed together about. He was obsessed with that television show as a kid, and a lot of our playtime involved reenacting scenes from it. A perfect-fit sort of gift. If someone in your life has a similar affection for Chuck Norris or for that TV show, I'd highly recommend this book.

1.0 out of 5 stars Pure Trash!
Reviewed in the United States on November 16, 2014

I wish I had never paid 1c for this book! That's what I paid. All the sex talk is vulgar and defamatory. I don't blame Chuck Norris for being upset!

You wouldn't EXPECT a person to assume that someone would write such trash about Chuck Norris. I didn't think it was necessary to read the description here in detail, because I didn't think ANYONE would stoop so low! This book is full of sick sex jokes at Norris' expense. Chuck Norris is an honorable man, who lives his life in devotion to his Christian faith, his family, and moral values. This book trashes his reputation. I think the entire profit from this book should be given to Chuck.

The author obviously doesn't care about anyone but himself, but I really wonder how he'd feel if his personal values were trashed like that in any book written about him. You just don't do things like that! It is totally unacceptable.

This book isn't suitable for anyone, not even adults. And many people who are fans of Chuck will buy it without realizing what it is, just like many reviewers here and I did. Even worse are the situations where someone buys this book for a minor and gives it to him without reading it.

"Chucktatorship" is funny. But most of the one-liners that don't cross over to the unacceptable are not particularly funny anyway.

If someone wrote such trash about a woman, it would be, legally speaking, libel per se. This means that malice is presumed, and the victim is entitled to treble damages. The same should apply to a man. I'm sorry, but trashing someone's honor is NEVER funny, and this "author" should be sued to within an inch of his life!

"Good name in man and woman, dear my lord,
Is the immediate jewel of their souls:
Who steals my purse steals trash; 'tis something, nothing;
'twas mine, 'tis his, and has been slave to thousands;
But he that filches from me my good name
Robs me of that which not enriches him,
And makes me poor indeed."

― William Shakespeare, Othello

This writer is a thief, pure and simple. He has no honor, so he tries to rob others of theirs. Don't fall for it. I don't care if you DO like sex jokes. This is not acceptable for you, either.
