I have the authors first book, Ghost Hunter's Bible Definitive Edition, so I thought what the heck, lets check out his new book. WOW! This book was designed perfectly for advanced level ghost hunters. Different types of ghosts are broken down into separate categories. Each ghost is explained, detailed and described very accurately. The stories in this book are also amazing and are the icing on the cake. If you are a ghost hunter or someone series about studying occult subjects this is a good book to own. The writing is high quality and the pictures in this book are incredible. I am very happy with this book. I predict that The Book of Ghosts will go down in history as one of the most prominate ghost hunting references even written.

This is the worst book on ghosts that I have ever read. It makes all ghosts sound demonish and evil even the children ghosts. I feel very mislead by the author and publisher. The book was not at all what I was lead to think. I recommend that you go to the nearest library and check it out but by no mean should you buy it. Not worth $20 by any standards!!!

Trent Brandons book is well written, easy to understand (a child could understand it) and well catalogued. I enjoyed his classifications of the ghosts, and it had some nifty illustrations and stories (which are probobly fiction) to help explain the nature of the ghost. There are 2 reasons why I gave it a 4 instead of a five.

1) Trent Brandon states several times that nothing can be done
to be rid of ghosts, that they must choose to leave on their own. True, some types of ghosts can leave on their own, others are to oblivious and there are ways of getting them out of your home/brothel/what have you.
2) the classiications, although numerous, are a tad misleading in that each haunting is different and few are so cut and dry (although i believe he mentions this somewhere)
all in all a cool book and a good guide. I deffininitley recommend this.

This is a very good book for those interested in ghosts - as a comfy chair reader or the real believer.

when I received the book, it was already signed by the author. I'm writing an adventure book with ghosts in it and this book helps me dissociate between different kind of ghosts. It was a very good purchase.
ps: very pretty images too.
