Book Review: Don't be fooled...
Summary: 5 Stars
Don't be fooled by the book's size. It contains a treasure trove of information on the many supernatural creatures that exist in our world. Although I expected more in-depth, detailed encyclopedia-style entries for various creatures, it instead offers sections on different types of creatures, and sometimes, the section for a certain monster (like the Vampire or the Dragon) goes on for pages at a time. Although relatively small, it contains a HUGE amount of information. I was hoping for obscure information, but it seems that the author has put together all her knowledge on these subjects into one whole. Overall, I would say that this is a great book, and well worth the money and the time it takes to receive it.
