Cool stories

Cool, fun stories a little on the shorter side but good overall. Anyone who enjoys this subject should enjoy this book.

No person would speak this way!

I counted 15 uses of the word enigma and enigmatic by chapter 16. It began to bother me to distraction. Repeated use of the word phenomenon and phenomena was arguably the same, tho I didn’t count its usage. Weird emphasis in phrasing without comprehension. Annoying!

Seriously, give someone a job and get rid of the computer!

The stories were good but the narration was awful.

Stop with the awful AI NARRATION

It would have been enjoyable because the stories seem good but it was worse than a college lecture at 7am. Repeated a lot of words when different ones could’ve been used.

Enigmatic is the authors favorite word

It was okay but it isn’t all set in national parks. While the story is good, the author has several favorite words that he repeats in every story. By the last few chapters I was distracted by keeping count of how many times he would say “enigmatic” and “annals of history”.
