Review of
Ripley’s
Believe It or Not!: Great Disasters ISBN 0671820680
Four out of five stars
Like all of the
other Ripley’s books, this book about natural disaster deaths and destruction and
stories of miraculous survival is a quick read, one well suited for short
spurts of reading. The stories are often incredible, yet they are the type that
we often hear of when there is a disaster. I am always stunned when I see the
utter devastation from a tornado but hear of so few human casualties.
Disasters due
to weather, earthquake and sometimes human failure have always been and always
will be part of the human experience. In this book you can read and enjoy tales
of some of the most amazing in history. Embedded in many of them is an
incredible story of survival.
