This review is from: Strange Phenomena (Flexi cover series) (Paperback)

Let me just start out by saying I bought this book thinking, "well, it's only 10 bucks and its got lots of pictures...so what the heck?" Boy was I wrong. This book is great! It's a very informative and broad book, both with writing and pictorially. I mean the pictures alone make this book worth more than 30 or 40 bucks! Full, color images on just about every single page with really well done write-ups describing each one.

Some of the topics include: Fairies, Crop Circles, the Ley Lines, Sea Monsters, Bigfoot/Yeti, Cattle Mutilations, Werewolves/Animal Deformities, the Pyramids, Stonehenge, the Great Wall, Bermuda Triangle, Ship Disappearances, Meteors, UFO's, Raining Strange Objects, Spontaneous Human Combustion, Weeping Statues, Levitation, the Incorruptibles, the Stigmata, Feral Children, Tsunamis, the Auroras, Weather Phenomena, Geological Phenomena, and Ghosts/Spiritual Phenomena.

So needless to say more, this book has everything. The only thing that bothered me slightly was the amount of grammatical and spelling errors, possibly because it was published in the UK, and the translation might have gotten a little funky. Other than that, it's a great buy. I would definitely take a chance on the other books in this series.
