Chock full of information..interesting..and had me amazed
 | ||
| aaah...the feel of a book...the velvety feel |
I was very intimidated to read this book. Not sure what I was getting
into and it being a whopper of a book at 448 pages..not to mention that
it is classified as non-fiction (I always get a little intimidated to
read anything non-fiction). Still I was very intrigued...very much drawn
in to the subject that has anything to do with the great Harry Houdini.
From beginning to end I was enthralled. I hardly ever read a 400+ page
book in just a few days but I did with this one because it was so
good...so much information...so much history...so much story behind it. I
didn't have time to read this book when ever I could...BUT I made the time.
I love books that grip me that much It's what I love about reading...finding something so engrossing...so captivating...so informative.
Also intrigued by the roaring 1920's this book gives me all the details of the time...but more so when it came to the psychic world...the invention(??) of a new way of communicating with deceased loved ones...spiritual realms, if there is one. OH...OOOH and this book is not just about Harry Houdini like I first thought. This book starts with a rich history of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle..the writer of the amazing Sherlock Holmes character and stories. I don't even want to give anything away about what the psychic world has to do with Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and how the lives of his and Houdini's intertwined. One thing I will say, is they both loved their mothers..fiercely and in different ways they were the force and inspiration for who they were and why. And we are talking about The Witch of Lime Street so there is more to this story than Houdini or Sir Conan Doyle..there is another just as intriguing person a part of this time that is just as amazing and intriguing. So much rich history in this book. Just an amazing and wonderful read. Difficult, yes, when you consider that there is so much information..when you consider the era and the mystery around it especially if you are not familiar with it. But worth it, ABSOLUTELY. You will not be bored by this book!!
From the vibrant cover to the interesting contents inside this is a wonderful read. (Did I mention it has deckled edges for that added "old world" look...No...well it has deckled edges and that goes perfect with velvety feel, the rich dark coloring of the cover...the mysterious look of the book just as mysterious looking on the outside as it is on the inside) I learned many things...and am intrigued to know even more if that is even possible.
I received this book thankfully to the peeps at bloggingforbooks for honoring my request..to http://davidjaher/ for writing such a great read..and for it all being made possible for me to receive free in exchange for an honest review to which I gladly and voluntarily gave.
