Entertaining read for teenage boys

Reviewed in the United States on January 1, 2021

Verified Purchase

My fourteen-year-old son likes to read but only likes graphic novels or really interesting stories that are short! This book is a series of short unbelievable, but supposedly true stories. It kept him entertained and he read it continuously for 3 days until he had read the whole book. Highly recommend for boys who are curiosity seekers or like unusual, hard to believe stories!

Cool tales!

Reviewed in the United States on January 7, 2019

Most of the stories included in this book have been around for years. Some stories are rather stupid and can be easily dismissed as pure fiction. Others will make you wonder if they are true or not.

Got this for my 15 year old son who struggles to be interested in anything he reads. He actually happily reads this - lots of interesting short tales which mean he doesn’t have to concentrate too much! Different themes and lots of stories. Easy to pick up and put down.

Great book as well as horrifying.
I would recomend this book, and if you want extra spooks read it at night. (especially the ones which are actually in a chapter about spooky ones)
All together great book would recomend.
