Charles Berlitz always seems to provide great factual information on topics such as Atlantis and the Bermuda Triangle. The factual information that is provided in this book is very interesting and does make you wonder where Atlantis could really be and what is waiting to be discovered under the vast depths and undiscovered parts of the Earths oceans. I recommend this book to those who are interested in this topic and want more information on this topic.

This is another great book by Charles Berlitz. The author provides readers with a wide range of factual information that occurred in the Bermuda Triangle along with theories surrounding the disappearances of planes and ships in this area. His theories are not far fetched and actually make a lot of sense. If you liked this book as much as I did I suggest also reading Charles Berlitz book Dragon's Triangle.

I thought this book was great and Charles Berlitz provides a lot of great factual information on occurrences that happened in the Dragon's Triangle. He covers things such as islands that have been documented and then later disappeared, the ships and planes that have gone missing in this area, and how the Dragon's Triangle is situated on a hot bed of underwater volcanoes and earthquake zones. There are also some great pictures in this book and if you like Charles Berlitz and/or topics such as the Bermuda Triangle then you will more than likely enjoy reading this book.

This book is amazing and if you have ever wanted to learn about the Holocaust or even read more on the subject, I highly recommend this book. Don't be intimidated by the book's size because it is well worth the read and really gives you an inside look into the Holocaust through pictures. Every page is filled with pictures and stories behind them and I must warn though that there are several pictures of death and violence. I have always been interested in this subject but didn't realize how much I didn't know until I read this book. The Holocaust Chronicle is both chilling and educational along with being a great reference book to have on this dark time in history. I am sure the reader will learn things that they didn't even know about in this book. The Book starts off by giving a brief history on the origins of anti-Semitism along with Hitler's life and his rise to power which helps in knowing where it all started before jumping into the history of the Holocaust. I couldn't put this book down because it was so intriguing. A website also accompanies the book which is located here: http://www.holocaustchronicle.org/

Sylvia provides some interesting theories on a lot of paranormal topics. If you have read her book Visits from the Afterlife, you will notice that quite a bit of Phenomenon is taken word for word from the first two chapters of Visits from the Afterlife. It is a great little reference guide to help explain some paranormal phenomenon and is written in sort of a dictionary form where the topics are in alphabetical order.

This is a pretty good book and provides an insight on what life was like in a concentration camp. The descriptions of some of the things the author experienced in the concentration camp along with the conditions were horrific. There was one chapter that was a little slow and dealt with the âselling/dealingâ of food and other belongings that went on in the camp amongst the prisoners and outside civilians. The last chapter of the book was very interesting and provided a bittersweet ending. How some of these prisoners lasted 3 (and some even more) years in the concentration camp is amazing. Overall this book was good but I guess I expected a little more, none the less it was good read.


Visits From The Afterlife: The Truth About Hauntings, Spirits, and Reunions with Lost Loved Ones
Review Date: 5/15/2008
Helpful Score: 1


I enjoyed this book but skimmed through the first two chapters quickly because I read this book after reading Phenomenon which has just about everything in the first two chapters of this book word for word throughout Phenomenon. Throughout this book there are stories that were submitted to Sylvia by her readers and she responds to the experiences and offers information on each of the hauntings. I really enjoyed the chapter dealing with celebrity ghost stories and here experiences when visiting some of the homes of deceased celebrities. A fun read on hautings and visitations from spirits and ghosts.
