Why did I pick it up?

Actually this book has been shove directly into my hands and was told to read it immediately, then write a review about it. Not really sure why though, but hey, free book, I can’t be picky. hahah


My 2 ¢ ♠♠♠My first reaction when my friend shoved this book into my hands was, "If you've read one of this book, you've read them all, since they be recompiling the same or so stories and pictures in any of this sort of book anyway."

It turned out, I was right. I’m not surprise, since I’ve actually picked up different version of this sort of compilation in different times of my life, and so far most of them just change their covers, and walla! New book!  It includes the same content of hauntings, fairies, weird paranormal events, and whatsoever that’s usually included in it.

In this particular book, they have included small short summaries of accounted encounters and there are also photographs included here and there. There’s nothing new, too many repeat accounted events. I for one was disappointed with this book. since I expected at least something new.

Any book of this sort is a hot cake. Teens and young adults usually insisted on checking this out, so I recommend if you still don’t have this book and looking for books that would be a definite check out, I definitely recommend getting this one.
