Review of 'History decoded' on 'Goodreads'

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.
