BL1032 I611 1989: Real whatever. Listen I've seen a lot of these books, I'm not easily impressed anymore. ( )

Todella mielenkiintoa herättelevällä tavalla tehty kirja, jossa ei ole vain kuivaa faktaa, vaan myös silmiinpistäviä kuvia ja kiehtovia legendoja. Aihe yhteen kirjaan on kuitenkin hyvin laaja, ja siksi tiedot jumalista ja heidän seikkailuistaan jäävät melko vähäisiksi. Jos kirjan jokaiselle osiolle (Intia, Kiina, Japani...) olisi laadittu oma kirja ja jos niistä olisi tehty sarja, myös syvällisempää tietoa haluava lukija olisi varmasti tyytyväinen. ( )
