Spooky Lakes: 25 Strange and Mysterious Lakes That Dot Our Planet by Geo Rutherford
3.5
I tried the audiobook along with the ebook at first, and the audiobook narration wasn't great. There were moments of poor editing (like Geo starting a sentence, pausing, and restarting it) and the pauses between sentences were awkwardly long.
Then, I switched to just the ebook, which was certainly more enjoyable, but still very DENSE with information. A lot of it probably could've been left out or trimmed down to make each of the sections not drag as much.
Another minor complaint is that, while Geo's art is AWESOME and I loved it!!!, I wish there had also been a photo of each location to go along with the gorgeous artwork. Despite how intricate Geo's paintings are, I still wanted to see what a realistic depiction of each place would look like, so I kept tabbing over to the browser on my iPad to look up photos at the end of each section. It's a small thing that I think would've gone a long way to increase enjoyability for me.
All of that aside, I learned a lot of cool facts about some very Haunted Hydrology and I love that. If you're into weird facts about nature, I recommend this, or better yet, checking out Geo's videos!
