Strange and Mysterious Places the World Forgot - Arthy Muthanna Singh & Mamta Nainy - ★★★.¼

AUTHORS: Arthy Muthanna Singh & Mamta Nainy
GENRE: Children's Nonfiction
PUBLICATION DATE: November 1, 2019
RATING: 3.25 stars.


The title of the book isn't exactly accurate. Not all the places mentioned are strange or mysterious. Some are just interesting.


Pros:
* Fabulous information about some really great unknown places of India. Anytime interested in history or fun facts will find a treasure trove of information in this book.


Cons:
* Pictures of the places would have been so helpful. The book contains only a couple of crude illustrations in every chapter. Considering the fact that this is a children's book, this problem is greater. Especially after the cover so cutely illustrates many of the places mentioned.

* The content has no logical flow in many places. It looks like it has been haphazardly put together. Better organising and editing of the content was really required.


Overall, a decent read if you are looking for knowledge. But not interesting enough for kids.
