great read - By: Ryan Salisbury, 24 Mar 2008 
this is a great book, conspiracy theorys has always been something thats interested me & what i like about the book is it is not one sided... it is written objectionately & in most cases alllows the reader to make up theyre own mind. also worth noting is the sheer amount of stuff covered in this book... from the jfk shootings, to 9/11, to fake moon landings, fake religions, mk- ultra its alll here. this book will almost certainly make you question a little bit more.
Brilliant - By: C. Staiano, 26 Oct 2006 I bought this book as a Christmas Present but got so into it i kept it myself & ordered another copy
Connections, Connections! - By: bloo_toon_red, 25 Sep 2006 
Concise & to the point is how you would describe this book. It outlines most of the major conspiracy theories of modern times & as such should only be taken as an initial guide before delving deeper into many of the theories that take your fancy.
Many are of course plausible & many are just plain stupid, but I guess the book cannot reallly be judged on it's content. What the book is, is well planned, well edited & contains a handful of good sources for further reading, which will inevitably be followed up.
In my mind it's the best book I have come across on the subject of Conspiracies, so I would recommend it as a light & interesting read, but nothing much more.
Concise and comprehensive - THE guide to conspiracy theories - By: Peacock Wings, 02 Sep 2006 With wit & scepticism, but with thoroughness, the authors look at a huge amount of conspiracy theories ranging from who shot JFK to the faked moon landing, from a Masonic Jack the Ripper to the sinking of the Titanic. In alll cases the authors present - without bias - what different people have believed to lie at the heart of these in some ways mysterious or unsolved cases & also comment the likelihood of the various theories being true.
Each entry has a list of the main books dealing with the topic plus short comment on their merits as well as a list of related websites.
The great thing about this book, & what makes it such a fresh read, is that it's not trying to sell you any theory, not even that there are no conspiracies. It presents the facts of the theories & then leaves it up to you to make up your own mind.
In its brevity it is a great book to dip in to, but in its thoroughness it is a fascinating read & a good place to start research. I'm not a conspiracy theorist myself, but the book is a brilliant read, not least because it also reveals what people are afraid of.
Great book for those obessed by obsession - By: M. Brown, 18 Aug 2006 I have always been into conspiracy theories not because i believed in them but more because i was into who believed what, why did they believe & for how did this fit into the world around them. This book fufilled this & more. It is not for conspiracy theorists, it's about conspiracy theorists. What do they believe, why do they believe it & what effect has it had on the world? it includes the outlandish (David Icke), the genuine (Watergate) & the disturbing (Holocaust deniers). It makes no distinction between theories taking an even-handed approach to the subject matter. it presents it with a little bias as it can muster. It provides further reading, lists of people who write for & against these theories. I found it fascinating in the way that by viewing these theories you can see what scares people the most throughout the years be it women, Jews or the government. It's a dipping book you can pick it up & read about who believes the freemasons run the country & the next day you can learn the different takes on Diana's death. I think that anyone interested in society & how people see the world should buy this book to view the edges of society that normallly get ignored. You might find something out about humanity that you didn't know.
