What a great read. I found the whole book to be very interesting. I also really like how the book is setup.

I enjoyed this book. Lots of interesting mysteries were presented, some I had heard of and others new. I kind of lost interest and had to push through when conspiracy theorist Alex Jones was listed as a source in one of the stories. But still, a fun, easy, and short read that led me to research several stories further.

I liked each, and every, short "unexplained" mystery in the book. I was sorry when I finished the book.SO0o much so I order a few more books by the same author.RECOMMENDED!

Like the rest of these books, nothing earth shattering, just simple entertainment. You could do worse so go ahead and pass some interesting time in these pages.

I really liked all the different types of mysteries covered in the book and that there are several different explanations for them. This book is recommended for ages from teenagers through adults

Another great readable Bill O'Neill book of 38 mysteries of the world. A shining example is his investigation of who were the people who first landed in North America? Bill searches and finds out they may not hwve come across the great land bridge from Asia. His investigation , entitled, The Blue Eyed Blonds were probably the first and came from elsewhere. Its worth reading the book to find out who they were, where thy came from and how they got here.

there are a lot of interesting stories I never heard

Nice, unpretentious read showcasing mysteries from all around the world. The author is an affable host, bringing us some stories that were already familiar, but quite a few that were new to me. Some are ancient mysteries, such as Atlantis, or what really happened to the dinosaurs, and others much more recent, such as the disappearance of Flight MH370, which must count as one of the most puzzling mysteries of the modern era. Each chapter is reasonably short, but nonetheless there is plenty of thought-provoking stuff to be found here.

Bill O'Neill writes fascinating books and this one is no exception. Full of mysteries from around the world and of totally different. From lost treasures to missing civilizations to murder mysteries. If you enjoy stories about the unexplained this is for you.

There are a lot of these books on so called unsolved mysteries, these ones were very uninteresting and they can remain unsolved as far as I am concernedLong winded and boring
