This book has gone for quanity over quality, with close to 100 tales in it. With most stories being a couple pages, you get limited details and left wanting more.

In my opinion this was a really good, fascinating and mind blowing book! There was parts when I got a bit bored but for the most part it was pretty good.

I found each story interesting. Some of them I was familiar with but there were so many that I'd never heard of before reading this.

I found this book to be very enjoyable. The stories are short enough to keep your attention and a lot of them are ones I hadn't heard before.
