Even though this book is written for around a middle school level, I found it very enjoyable reading as an adult.
There is something that I have to comment on though.
This book contains all true stories. I have no reason to doubt that as I've even read a few of the stories included before.
However , one of the stories included is false.
Towards the end, the book has the story of a cursed mummy that caused trouble and death for everyone it came in contact with and it finally went down on the Titanic while being shipped to a new buyer in America .
This story is not true.It is a myth and was debunked years ago.
Anyone can research for themselves and find your answer about 5 minutes.

Its disappointing to see it show up in a book published in 2005, but I guess old myths die hard.
This did not take away my enjoyment of the book which I find very nicely done overall.
I just thought this is something people would like to know.
