Book Reviews of Ripley's Believe It or Not! Amusement Park Oddities & Trivia
Book Review: Not what I was hoping for
Summary: 2 Stars
I didnt like this book. It is in list format (which I expected) ...it has facts on tons of different amusement parks from all over the world, but it only names them...only in the back of the book does it let you know where the certain park is, which means unless you wanna flip constently to the index, you have no idea what you are reading about. (It almost makes it feel like half the stuff is made up and not truth, Like "The Great White Roller Coaster in Adventure Amusement Park is the first to go 100mph"...really?? I dont understand why they couldnt have just put at least what state the parks are in, it seems if they can do it in the index why not in the body of the book??). That is the main reason I am giving this ony 2 stars. It also only has black and white hand drawn pics, no pics of any of the parks. This book is totaly not what I was expecting. I scanned through it for a little bit, but was very bored and ended up putting it up on my shelf to never be looked at again.
Great premise, poorly exicuted.
