[Amy Dale · Rating 3 out of 5]

There's not one thing wrong with this book but I quit very early, I just don't like that it's not organized by topic, rather it's organized alphabetically by location, the index doesn't list different categories either, so you can't just read about ghosts or fairies or whatever you fancy, you're just stuck reading random stuff hoping something exciting pops up. And most of it was pretty okay or interesting but the problem then is that you get invested and curious only for the article to be over in just as few sentences, so it's frustrating again, you get excited right when it's over! As far as I read it kept just being historical happenings but nothing really supernatural or spooky. It's a great bathroom reader, each story is just a short snippet, but I didn't have the patience to keep going when I can't find subjects I'm interested in. I'm sure I'm probably missing out but oh well! 😂
