Short and Repetitive

This reads like a series of high school level essays written by the same student. There are a lot of repeated phrases from one volcano to the next. Each chapter is a recitation of basic facts about the chosen volcano without going into the science of vulcanology or having a real discussion on the historical/personal impact of each eruption.

You could probably find a very similar Top 20 Volcanoes list online without too much trouble that would give you much of the same information.
