This book is interesting and informative. It tells about mysteries of the 20th century, as the title says, which is a very broad topic. Thus people with different interests can enjoy it, as the description of each is quite short- 2 or 3 pages- and the subjects vary from murders to disasters to spontaneous combustion. The writing style is suspenseful and mysterious sounding in most of the entries, which is appropriate for this kind of book, and is easy to follow. Not very good for reading at one stretch, it is more the kind of thing you would leave on your nightstand or coffee table to read one or two chapters whenever you get a chance. Also good for sudden changes of conversation. Most people will probably like it, but the ones who don't will really hate it.

This book was a gift and and it has been read several times and enjoyed each time.

I picked up this book to browse through it at a friend's home... and enjoyed it so much I got directly online to order my own copy! Wonderful conversation starter and people of all ages can enjoy it, I would definately recommend it.
