About the author

Various is the correct author for any book with multiple unknown authors, and is acceptable for books with multiple known authors, especially if not all are known or the list is very long (over 50).

If an editor is known, however, Various is not necessary. List the name of the editor as the primary author (with role "editor"). Contributing authors' names follow it.

[Kaupo Sempelson · Rating 3 out of 5]

Iseenesest huvitav, ent pealiskaudne ja kirjeldav. Kõige huvitavam osa polnud üldse ufode ega tulnukatega seotud, ma ei tea kas jäi raamatu mahust puudu või viskas autori kopa ette ja hüppas hoopis kummituste teemale. Algus ja lõpp olidki raamatu parimad osad, algne mõnus iroonia kadus paraku üsna kiirelt.

ma arvan, et minu huvi tulnukate vastu on liialt meelelahutuslik, sest minu jaoks need lood küll maailma põnevaimad ei olnud. narratiiv oli kuiv ja polnud mingisugust põnevust
also viimased 50 lehte olid lampi kummitustest?

Raamatu pealkirja järgi võiks arvata, et tegu on väga põneva raamatuga.Kahjuks pidin mina aga pettuma.Raamatu algus oli küllaltki paeluv aga mida lehekülg edasi seda mõttetumaks ja igavamaks see lugemine läks.Tunne oli nagu loeks sama lugu aina uuesti ja uuesti, vahe oli vaid selles, et kohad ja inimesed muutusid, kõik muu jäi aga samaks a'la ere valgus - auto mootor või mis iganes muu elektrooniline seade lõpetas töötamise - inimene ei suutnud enam liigutada - lend valguse abil UFO laeva - meditsiiniline ülevaatus - tagasi kodus/autos/vms.

Ma küll usun maavälistesse "asjadesse/olenditesse" aga lugedes nei jutte tundus küll, et need inimesed olid vist veidi nupust nikastanud.

Alates leheküljest 327 aga läks raamat päris loetavaks.Aga siis polnud enam tegu UFO lugudega vaid kummitustega.

Kahjuks see raamat minu silmis peale ühe tärni välja ei venita.Tegelikult isegi üks on liiga hea selle kräpi teose puhul.

It was my husband who bought the book because it's on sale but he ended up not reading it. He was just curious that's why he bought it in the first place. I'm not actually a believer of supernatural beings and aliens. I read it to past the time. I think some of the stories are made up and probably some are half true and others are quite realistic.
One story that i actually think is true is about the Roswell incident where they discovered alien remains but well, who knows whether if its true or not.

This is a superb book - there are no sources listed and the last 100 pages are ghost stories (even though they are amazing ghost stories, this could be seen as a rip-off) but the sheer volume of frightening and bizarre tellings written in a bland yet distinctive style completely won me over to the point where it doesn't matter whether anything in this book is true or not - it's just an exciting read to dip in and out of.

[Jennifer · Rating 3 out of 5]

This book contains some incredibly fascinating stories but at the same time many, especially those concerning aliens (the book has other aspects to it such as ghosts) seemed just a bit too repetitive, or pointless.
