Review: Scatological Literature

There is an organization called WorldToilet.org (really) whose mission is toImprove sanitation conditions for people globally through powerful advocacy, inventive technology, education and building marketplace opportunities locally.  I have a friend who has informed me that toilet conditions and sanitation play a monumental role in ending poverty, creating gender equality, and keeping children in school. (Really!!). This friend purchased 100 copies of this book to give to friends as gifts because some of the proceeds from the 99 cent book sale go to this fantastic organization.  I find the cause interesting and noble (seriously) and my 13 year old son laughed until he wet himself reading these stories (bear in mind that he laughs for five minutes if you simply say the word fart) but I, frankly, could have found a better use of the few hours it took me to read this book (I did not want  my son to read it if there was anything in the book that was inappropriate for young eyes-there is a lot of fart, diarrhea and poop info but nothing inappropriate). There was definitely more scatological information here than I wanted to know.  I am giving it five stars because my son insisted that it deserved five stars and because the proceeds go to a good cause (really!!).
