2.0 out of 5 stars
a below-average treatise on random ocean mysteries,
By A Customer
This review is from: Mysteries and Monsters of the Sea (Hardcover)
this book was a disappointment. it would have been much more interesting had it concentrated on cryptozoological aspects ot ocean mysteries...with most of the planet's ocean depths averaging two miles, much remains to be discovered and i think this book could have capitalized on this theme instead of including sensational and unbelievable accounts of ghost ships and the bermuda triangle, subjects that have been convincingly debunked for a long time. the middle chapters are worth the nine dollars you'll spend on this book but, while original, the material covered is sadly not studied in more depth and the lack of a bibliography makes it difficult to find further reading (especially on the giant jellyfish that could exist). the editing and grammar are second rate and the book reads at a second grade level. given the tantalizing information (i.e. the giant salmon of lake hanan in a chinese province)included, it's a shame that the editor doesn't feature photos of some of the purported creatures, such as the claim that clear pictures of the above-mentioned salmon were taken by field biologists. it was just enough to leave one frustrated and wondering from what issue of The Globe this story and probably most in this book were sourced from.
