3.0
I’ve had this book since I was a child and I remember looking at the pictures quite frequently. I never read the book though. So I decided to do that today and I was underwhelmed. The illustrations are what make this book in my opinion. The text is kind of weird. Its random snippets of tales with random sentences thrown in to make it seem as though it’s evidence of giants. It’s quirky and could be fun, but the actual writing is stale and boring. This book is all about nostalgia though so I won’t be getting rid of it. I won’t be reading it again though either. The illustrations are what bumped it up to a 3. The writing alone was probably a 1 or a 2.
