This book's subject matter could be highly interesting if wasn't written in a smug, sarcastic, condescending manner and aimed at scaring young readers.
Contents include, but are not limited to: the Hope Diamond, King Tut's Tomb, Annabel the Doll, Dybbuk Box, & other "cursed" historical objects.
It is simplistic, brief, and has illustrations instead of photographs. It may be cataloged as Adult Non-Fiction, but it is clearly written for children.
Not only did it bore me, the attitude of the writing aggravated the hell out of me.
