The Book of Unexplained Mysteries: On the Trail of the Secret and the Strange by William Pearson
informative
medium-paced
4.0
Well, as the author says, what's wrong with a good mystery? I love them, and even more when I'm not handed nifty-crafted explanations :P
This was very entertaining and with some unexpected mysteries. There are, of course, the classic ones: UFOs, BigFoot, Nessy, the Marie Celeste. But then, in a rather unanticipatedly way, you find yourself reading about Quantum Physics, serial killers and the Shugborough Code. I liked that a lot :D
Disregarding the degree of any previous knowledge, all of them are nicely presented and even from the more commonplace ones I came out with one or two details I didn't know before.
Way better than most of this type of book usually are :P
