Nostradamus: The Man Who Saw Through Time, is an informational book, more like a biography, of the life of Nostradamus. It begins with his early childhood and about the place he lived in and the family he had, and later grew to talk about his later life and accomplishments. Lee McCann concluded the story with a few of the many visions of Nostradamus, all of which are, in fact, true. I gave this book a 3 out of 5 star rating because although it was helpful in understanding the life of Nostradamus, I didn't find it as interesting as most books due to the fact that I'm not a big fan of informational writing and books. I would recommend this book to people who are curious about the man who saw through time, and are interested in biographies and informational text.

An OK book to read for me. Nostradamus as a doctor and later as an astrologer and how the people in 16th century really hooked up with astrology. The book talks more about France's politics than Nostradamus himself.

I saw this book in a flea market not too long ago, and as someone who has a Plague Doctor tattoo loosely inspired by Nostradamus, this was an instant buy for me.
If you have an interest in learning about his life, its a great book for that, I definitely learned things about him that I didn't know. If you're more interested in his prophecies, just know this book was published in the 1940s, so part 2 is more about the early 20th century.
All in all, good read and kept my attention going the whole time. And not only did I learn a few things about Nostradamus, I may of had to look up a couple words, which i enjoy learning in That sense from books as well.
