Dull, repetitive book about people who investigate the paranormal. Nothing at all new. Unless you're a complete tyro, give it a skip.

[david marsden · Rating 4 out of 5]

I gave this book a 4 star, but it would have been a 3.5 if possible. The grammatical errors were consistent all the way through the book, which made it seem unprofessional on the authers' part. Aside from that, the book had been researched well as the content seemed accurate, albeit brief in many cases. But that can also be expected in a book that covers so many subjects and people. It would make a reasonably good reference book. Maybe it would have been better if divided into 3 volumes and more in-depth content added to each. As some of the content would have benefited from that. The Amiteville case, Ed and Loraine Warren, and Aliaster Crowley, for example.
Anyway, it was interesting, maybe as a starter for someone who would like to get their interest sparked on the subject of the paranormal, and use as a reference for searching other books on the subjects they find interesting.

This has a few interesting stories but not much of anything new. The book covers about ten or so investigators however they only tend to be ghost/spirit investigators. There's no coverage of UFO, cryptozoologists, or any other types of investigators. There are a lot of sections that repeat a lot of information from chapter to chapter. Some of the research uses Wikipedia as a source. In the Audible format, the narrator annoyingly reads sources that are web addresses that gets very monotonous.

Instead of a book, this series might work well as a YouTube video series. With the repeating information and poor formatting, this isn't something I would recommend. Where's the UFO section? Final Grade - F

Drivel

Spare yourself the agony of a thousand eye rolls and just don’t bother with this one. If it isn’t for the seeming love affair the author has for the work of Ed and Lorraine Warren, who were able to parlay their work into a couple of good films before they both died, were extremely narrow in their view of the paranormal, then don’t read it because it’s lack of cohesion and structure are incredibly irritating and not worth the time it takes to read. It truly comes across as a group of poorly written school essays that should’ve earned the author, at most, a C- if the teacher were being extraordinarily generous and simply passing this work for the sake of getting the author out of their classroom.

Paranormal Investigators book is an interesting short book(s) on 'historical persons and facts' behind famous horror movies, such as the Conjuring and the Amityville to name a few. Although there were a few minor errors, the book is definitely a page turner. The stories in Book 4 and Book 7 were ones I was not familiar with and yet I found them very so intriguing.

I noticed some accounts may seem seemed repetitive but on re-reading I realised these were actually from different perspectives. I would recommend this book for those who wish to get a quick factual read, instead of reading a horror novel.

I read this book via Kindle Unlimited.

[Victoria Haugen · Rating 3 out of 5]

I found the subject of the books highly interesting, and each "book" provided a lot of information about each of the occurrences, all of which were very fascinating stories. I love Ed & Lorraine Warren, so anything involving them is peaking my interest. It's not a complete comprehensive account, but it's some good info and I found it entertaining. All in all a good job :)
I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.

Interesting subject matters -- but who the heck wrote this? Almost every page contains grammatical, spelling, content, or punctuation errors. It seems that this was written by a high school student in the lower percentile.

Needs to find a good editor/proofreader and try again.

Very informative!

This book went nearly to the beginning of spirits being contacted. The Fox sisters in America. But was very thorough from the 1800's. I found it an easy read too, explanations through out the book.

[Douglas Reedy · Rating 4 out of 5]

Very interesting book

The author has done quite well at researching for all of the information in this book. Many details about the paranormal.
