I never thought mysteries could be so boring. For the most part, this book gives a four page summary of each mystery and then follows it with six pages of pictures, captions, and timelines. All in all, I found the content and writing style to be exceedingly boring.

Interesting, some information is pretty vague since there's multiple stories but its a good coffee table book.

Didn't learn too much that I didn't already know. A few bits of trivia I hadn't heard elsewhere.

This book is amazing! It tells you so much about the wonders of the historic world and in general, is extremely compelling. I couldn't even put it down for even a second.

Decent enough book. Some chapters were enthralling others were just alright. Learned a good bit though.

Most of these things are not as mysterious as they are hyped up to be. Nice factoids and pictures though.
