Title: just not very good....
Review: The 30 point type instantly let me know that there wasn't much writing going on in this book (it would've made a decent pamplet). Not really any good pictures either. Basically it's just way too fluffy. I'm completely fascinated by the subject but this really only gives you names, dates and locations not much detail and absolutely no analysis. And its choice of storys is really odd. It's a sort of greatest hits that you already know about and obscure stories you don't care about, with everything inbetween left out. Where's Robert Smithson's plane crash or Bas Jan Ader's ill fated attempt to cross the Atlantic in a row boat? As for the serial killer art and motion picture deaths. Those topics properly researched and documented are books on there own, I think they were needed here to make this long enough to be a book. Basically I feel a little ripped off.
Is the review positive or negative?
