Customer Reviews

The Supernatural Worldwide....

I really enjoyed this book. I liked the format, the layout, the design , everything.The text was lively , informative and packed a lot of information about the subjects in only 2 large pages each.I also enjoyed the way pictures were employed in this volume. Movie stills were a clever way to illustrate the subject matter and the other real life pictures were great also. The only possible complaint I have with the book is is that the author apparently disapproved of Western Missionaries converting Native peoples and he let that be known.This was a factual type book and I wondered if it hadn't of been best for him to not interject his own views on that even though he did it in a somewhat subtle way. But that is a very minor point and in no way takes away from the quality of the book.I like the authors writing style and will buy more of his books in the future.
