4.0 out of 5 stars Very Interesting!, May 7, 2005

By	Katie "book worm" (PA , USA) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER)

This is the first book I've read about the Bermuda Triangle, and it was quite fascinating! Mr. Berlitz first describes the disappearances that have occurred in the region, and then discusses the possible causes for them. Some great photographs are also included.

The only reason I've given this book a "4" instead of a "5" is that the author tends to go off on tangents - all of which I found quite interesting - however, I think it may have been better had he left some of this info. to another book.

I would definately recommend purchasing this book (although you'll have to find a used copy) for anyone interested in the Bermuda Triangle, or ancient mysteries in general.

1.0 out of 5 stars I'd give it a zero, but they won't let me, April 3, 2009

By	D. B Poe, Jr. "critical thinker" (Charlotte, NC) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

If you are totally uncritical thinker, someone who still finds the Easter Bunny stories fascinating, then you'll love this book. There are so many things wrong with it that it's difficult to know where to start. He certainly plays fast and loose with the facts and doesn't let a little lie every now and then get in the way of a good story. For instance, there is the USAF Globemaster disappearance in 1950. It did disappear, but it was on a flight from Newfoundland to Ireland at the time. How in the world does this count as a Triangle disappearance since the route passes nowhere near the Triangle? And the weather always seems to be "calm," but a check with U.S. weather service records shows that this is not the case most of the time. In fact, in one instance (the cargo ship Sandra) weather records show that at the time of the disappearance winds were topping out at 73 mph, only 2 mph below hurricane force! And his co-writer (J. Manson Valentine) tried to capitalize on the financial success of this book by inventing a Great Lakes Triangle, but that book did not sell. Go read Lawrence Kusche's Bermuda Triangle Mystery - Solved if you would have the truth. If on the other hand you prefer to remain ignorant, well I'm sure that you can find a copy of that Great Lakes Triangle book somewhere.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Fascinating Book, November 8, 2009

By	RebIrish441 (The Sunny South) - See all my reviews

Regardless of some of the reviewers that spew hateful insults
against this book, this is indeed an excellent book.
Read it and see for yourself. It's a creepy, yet riveting
book written by Charles Berlitz in the mid-seventies.
No matter what your personal belief system,
this is a fascinating account of the strange disappearances
located in the Bermuda Triangle zone of the Atlantic ocean.
