She contributes to both the evidence and the lore. Too often, her speculation is stated as fact. ( )

I have to say, I found this book to be a bit of a laugh when I read it while I was doing some research on Atlantis. It was not altogether very informative, but then, I've always been a skeptic when it comes to aliens visiting Earth, so this book was a bit, um, well, unhelpful in that regard. However, it was very amusing in the midst of my otherwise somber research. (I actually did read the account as put forth by Plato in his Timaeus and Critias dialogue.) Seeing as how no one can actually prove or disprove the myth thus far, I suppose aliens and various other explanations are still viable, but it was certainly not a useful book in all seriousness for a research paper. Nonetheless, I did enjoy it more than the one star I gave it would suggest, but it was only because of the absurdity of the suggestions made in the book and the fact there was little to no research to suggest any of it was actually true other than in the author's mind.
