mothlight reviewed History decoded by Brad Meltzer
Review of 'History decoded' on 'Goodreads'
2 stars
Some of the mysteries are pretty decent and some are just really lame (i.e. the Georgia Guidestones). It isn't difficult to detect that the book is based on a tv series, as it goes into as much depth as you would expect from a 30 minute episode. It also has the structure and conventions of a low budget basic cable documentary series (making sure to say the series title, like "let's decode this mystery" in every segment). Mildly interesting but ultimately pretty breezy and insubstantial.
