[b]Rating[/b]: 5 out of 5 stars Most all of us have an innate fear or sharks but we don’t even understand what causes that in the big picture. This book was so informative and really taught me the history of shark attacks, our fear of them, and how humans have misunderstood sharks since the dawn of time. This gives me a far greater appreciation of the species as a whole.

“It might be unauthorized, but this book sure is comprehensive. This isn’t just a book about a game. The author focuses on the people who created it and expanded it over the decades as well as the people whose contributions have been hidden in the shadows. A richly detailed, exciting, and frequently surprising history.”

[b]Rating[/b]: 5 out of 5 stars A must-read for old-school horror movie fans! Watching horror movies with my dad is one of my best childhood memories. Boris Karloff, Peter Cushing and Christopher Lee were familiar faces to me. This book was a delight to read and a fantastic nostalgia boost. There was so much information that I never knew, all presented in an easy-to-read and entertaining format. It was a lovely way to spend the afternoon. I could tell the author truly appreciated these actors and movies as much as my dad and I did.

I got to learn more about Classic Who from biographies of each companion and discussion about what was happening with Doctor Who as it evolved and became an integral part of British culture. As the book explored the Modern Era (NuWho), I smiled with recognition as I got to learn more about the people behind the companions I am already familiar with and got something to look forward to for the Doctors I have yet to see. I am someone who does not mind spoilers (sweetie) and, in fact, I appreciate having more rather than less information about what happens. That said, if you are someone who carefully avoids spoilers, be.. Read more

I had such a good time reading this as a big carry on film fan this brought back lots of memories from my childhood watching carry on movies with my Dad. I really enjoyed learning more about the films and actors and there were lots of facts I didn't know.
