This book should be required reading before engaging in a conversation about the paranormal. The chapters on the Great Pyramid blew me away!!!

This review is from: Mysteries of the Ancient World (Mass Market Paperback)

I enjoyed this book a lot. It provided the reader with a variety of different viewpoints and gave a lot of good information.
My only complaint was that sometimes I felt there wasn't enough information and there were a few times in which the author made assumptions of fact I disagreed with. This, though, is to be expected in any book and I didn't particularly feel the author was trying to push his views on me.

This review is from: Mysteries of the Ancient World (Mass Market Paperback)

I love mysteries and the paranormal, so I was excited to start this book. This book delved into every site on the planet that is shrouded in mystery. Charles Sellier is not only a brilliant researcher, but a very engaging writer. Each location had a separate section in the book, and Mr. Selliers did an amazing job covering each and every topic. He provided all of the legends/folklore surrounding each mystery, and then provided his own insight that he developed through his own personal research. He has personally visited almost (if not all) every site that he writes about, and includes the all the pecularities that he observed. Instead of telling you his opinion, or what he really thinks happened, he merely provides the reader with every possibility and observation he's made. He allows the reader the opportunity to contemplate the details and arrive at their own conclusions. Not only is this book informative and educational, but it is truly an engaging read.
