Fascinating

ByGregory R Hardingon January 23, 2014

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

I found this book virtually impossible to put down once I'd started reading it.

Covering a vast array of phenomena they are comprehensively described and discussed then the reader is left to make up his own mind.

I had read some other reviews before I made my purchase where people criticized the author for being anti religious, anti conservative and working his own political agenda. I didn't find ANY of this throughout the whole book.

Bainton has successfully provided insights into happenings that are impossible to rationalize or explain without making statements showing his own opinions. It's all left for the reader to interpret.

The book is truly in the spirit of the "Fortean Times," well researched with a lot of background, informative and very, very readable. I can't imagine what anyone would find here to take offence at, unless THEY had some kind of agenda of their own.

BUY this book - it won't disappoint.

An amazing collection of interesting and informative articles on a wide range of topics. A great read.

ByJoseph J. TruncaleTOP 1000 REVIEWERVINE VOICEon November 24, 2013

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

If you are a curious person who enjoys reading about all types of mysteries and strange phenomena you will enjoy reading this giant (The Mammoth Book of the Unexplained) 596 page book. This text is organized into 8 parts. Each one has numerous short bits of information on a wide range of subjects.

Part one provides an overview of "The Age of Unreason." Part two deals with "Hot Chestnuts-UFOs, Part three covers "Beyond the veil" which is about near death experiences. Part four explains some of the mysteries of astronomy. Part five covers "Bizarre Biology." Part six ("Shiver me Timbers.") is about various maritime mysteries. Part seven is about "Panic and Paranoia." The final part deals with various topics combining a lot of strange phenomena such as bizarre archaeology, the map of the creator, the Piri Reis map, the Shroud of Turin, crystal balls and many other topics.

In conclusion, even though I think the writer presents these subjects in a clear and mostly objective manner; nevertheless, it seems to me that you can be too open minded and fall into the trap of "taking something on faith" rather than evaluating a subject in a scientific and rational manner. This book is a great read and very entertaining, but keep your feet firmly planted on the ground when reading this book.

Rating: 5 Stars. Joseph J. Truncale (Author: The Samurai Heart: An old warrior's poetic tribute)

Sections on ufo's and loch ness type creatures consume a large portion of the book, but if your into that sort of thing its cool. Otherwise it is a good enough book.
