Customer Reviews

Enjoyable,Challenging and Appreciated

"The Oak Island Mystery: The Secret of the World's Greatest Treasure Hunt" by Lionel and Patricia Fanthorpe. I thoroughly enjoyed this Oak Island read as I felt the author wasn't just regurgitating the same same but challenged the reader to think outside the box. Whose box? Well with this book you have choices and decisions to make for yourself. Although giving his interpretation of the known theories I particularly enjoyed his sharing George Youngs "Coptic Christian" religeous refugee's theory. Most interesting. His reaching back through the various time lines of history was as well challenging, overwheling at times and information overload. You'll learn somthing of value when you read this book. Comparing compelling similarieties to the the Rennes-le-Chateau and Glozar were of particular interest. I wonder if Lionel embraces the multi use over time theory? I reccomend this excellently written book to any Oak Island enthusiast who truly enjoys getting the mental juices flowing. If your a skeptic I have no advice for you because you shouldn't be here anyway :lol: you don't believe in Oak Island remember!

Oak Island Wisdom.

Regarding the reveiw of Clemson. I have recently completed an in-depth study of Oak Island and my revelations will answer many questions. Already I have impressed the owners working on the island and will try to make a deal to recover the treasure some time in the future. I have just read an excellent book called "The Oak Island Mystery" and can speak with some authority on the mysterious place. This book is both accurate and interesting, I can recommend it unreservedly. For the present I cant disclose my discoveries, but among the first to know will be Lionel & Patricia.

Oak Island

I find it strange that anonymous from Clemson could not understand Lionels writing,(maybe that is why they failed to put a name against the review)another mystery perhaps?.. I find all his books very interesting and thought provoking. More power to your pen Lionel as we all love your writings.

Th Oak Island Mystery

I read, with much astonishment, the review posted by a reader from Calmest, SC on the Oak Island Mystery by Lionel and Patricia Fanthorpe. I have come to the conclusion that we must have read different book!As a student of the para-normal and things Mysterious, I have always found the works of Lionel and Patricia Fanthorpe essential, and fascination reading.Their books are well researched, and written with a clarity, and just a touch of humour , which makes reading their work such a pleasure.The Oak Island Mystery is no exception in my humble opinion. This book is not a waste of money for anyone who wants the facts and conclusions presented by a noted, and notable authority on the Mysteries of life, which Lionel Fanthorpe undoubtedly is. Nor is it a waste of money for anyone who just wants a thundering good read!

New insights into an old mystery!

After reading the latest book regarding the Oak Island Mystery, I found it a facinating read. Especially regarding the possibilities of the Knights Templar being involved. (This book came out long BEFORE the Stephen Sora book on the same subject) I'd highly recommend this title to anyone who seeks further answers/hypothosis pertainting to the mysterious Oak Island Money Pit story. I commend the authors for their marvelous insights and research on this puzzle of the century. This book is a must for any serious researcher. Let the uninitiated beware. I give this book a hearty 2 THUMBS UP!
