5.0 out of 5 stars
a truly unique book,
By kyle sametz (Burnaby, British Columbia Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Mythologica (Hardcover)
I am utterly amazed at what this book offers. At an affordable price, I am glad that I invested in this book. Mythologica offers stunning visuals and covers a wide range of legends from many different cultures. This book has answered and clarified all my questions with respect to myths and legends of different cultures and times. I highly recommend this book to those who wish to learn more about mythology and other cultural legends. The great thing that I found with this book was that everything was divided up, meaning that I would not have to sit down for long periods of time to gain insight into what this book covers. Mythologica is perfect for picking up and reading about characters of legends. A final note, the price of this book is very reasonable for what you ultimately get from it. There are amazing visuals as well as quality pages that are used to compose this book. I give it five, because I, as well as others that read it, are still impressed by it
