Review-- ATLANTIS AND OTHER LOST CIVILIZATIONS by Herbie Brennan

Summary: I never believed in Atlantis. It didn't fit anything I'd been taught about pre-history.









Then I started looking at the facts. And discovered everything I'd been taught about prehistory was just plain wrong.









If you suspect they're selling you a crock of bilge as well, it's time you read this book. It'll open your eyes about what really happened 11,000 years ago.

A little rant...

Go ahead and call me a nerd, but I love history.

So when I saw this book, I jumped up and down and picked it up and started reading immediately.

Not only did it captivate me, it also convinced me of some awesome (but forbidden) facts. It's too bad that I took it out of the library though because I really wanna read it. AGAIN AND AGAIN.

Gah evil history. Why must you be made of such awesomeness?

The Good: Since this is a non-fiction book, there isn't really much of a plot to it, nor is there an main characters, so quite often if you are planning on writing a non-fiction book, the writing must be pretty darn good. And this book's writing is both captivating, and interesting. It grabs you in the first page, and never lets go.

I also how Brennan informs you of information. He tells you, proves it, and then leaves it. No fillers nor boring rants that just put you to sleep.

The subject that he decided to write on was really interesting. Not a lot of authors acknowledge Atlantis or challenge history in the children's books.

Unlike Eric Walters, this didn't feel like a children's book. It felt like I had picked up a YA or dare I say it, ADULT book? But Brennan has written quite a variety of books so therefore, it defiantly shows.

The Bad: Nothing really. It was just that awesome. Some parts, you had to be careful about when you read, just to make sure that you didn't miss anything, but every book is like that so yeah...

Overall: If you like history, then you will love this book. I must get my little paws on another by him.
