Críticas
Praise for The Curse of Oak Island "Sullivan writes with open-minded balance, rendering the Oak Island story into a weirdly fascinating mystery."-Booklist "The Curse of Oak Island is a definitive read for fans of the History Channel television show. Sullivan delves deeper into the history, personalities, and theories presented only briefly on the show. His approach is mostly unbiased, though he does tell the reader his thoughts on some of the theories and the theorists that he thoroughly researches and debunks. The book is incredibly well researched and the presentation . . . is very readable. If you've watched The Curse of Oak Island and were frustrated that snippets and possibilities were left tantalizingly unexplored, this is the book for you." -Heather Cover, Homewood Library (Birmingham, Alabama) "Sullivan isn't writing about Oak Island the TV show; his subject is Oak Island the place, largely as seen and imagined by the show's viewers. So, if you've ever been more entranced by the show's long trips into history and theoretical island encounters across history, Sullivan's book probably needs to be on your Christmas list."-Starcasm Praise for Randall Sullivan: "Compelling . . . No single source presents so complete or damning a record as LAbyrinth." -Entertainment Weekly on LAbyrinth "As a forceful author, Sullivan does a masterly job of juggling the dense thicket of facts and navigating the crowded chronology of the case." -Salon.com on LAbryinth "Sullivan's reportage is extraordinary, his narrative enthralling." -Rolling Stone on The Price of Experience "Sullivan's riveting tale is amazingly detailed and artfully presented. . . You can hardly turn the page fast enough . . . Contiporary history, brilliantly written."-Playboy on The Price of Experience "[An] engrossing, damning tale . . . Exhaustively researched, the book methodically weaves a disturbing story of corruption, intimidation, and murder." -Boston Globe on LAbyrinth "Worthy of F. Scott Fitzgerald, Sullivan captures the essence of the world in which Hunt and the BBC operated."-Chicago Tribune on The Price of Experience "A stunning mix of the personal and the historic, interviews and experiences, with Sullivan incredibly nimble at making the worlds overlap." -Booklist (starred review) on The Miracle Detective ""Well-told and expertly researched."- Publishers Weekly (starred review) on The Miracle Detective
Reseña del editor
The Curse of Oak Island is high-quality narrative non-fiction from a top-shelf journalist, extrapolated from Randall Sullivan's successful 2004 Rolling Stone article of the same title. The Oak Island mystery is the subject of the History Channel's reality TV series The Curse of Oak Island, which debuted in January 2014 and has become of the most successful original shows on cable overall. The show follows brothers Marty and Rick Lagina as they attempt to uncover the island's secrets. Randall Sullivan joined the show for its fourth season, which aired November 2016-February 2017. The book's subject is a fascinating real-life mystery, touching engineering, early Native American history, and some of the alternative historical theories which makes for a very compelling read. Sullivan's last book, Untouchable, was excerpted in Vanity Fair and named on of Amazon's 100 Best Books of the Year. Sullivan appeared on Katie, Good Morning America, and Nightline to promote the book, and we also received strong print attention, with coverage in People, the Los Angeles Times, and the New Yorker, among others. Open Road Pictures has adapted Sullivan's LAbryinth for film, with Brad Furman directing and Johnny Depp starring. The film is expected to be released in the second quarter of 2018, and we'll be re-issuing the book in a move tie-in edition. While there are other books on the Oak Island phenomenon, most are self-published. The two exceptions are The Oak Island Mystery, Solved by Joy. A. Steele (Cape Breton University Press, 2015; Bookscan: 959) and Secret Treasure of Oak Island by D'Arcy O'Connor (The Lyons Press, 2004; Bookscan 6290). The most direct competition is the D'Arcy O'Connor book, but that terminates in 2004, whereas Sullivan's covers the Lagina brothers who are at the center of the present hunt (and whose absence is noted by recent Amazon reviewers of O'Connor's book). And Sullivan comprehensively debunks the Steele volume, as well as most other Oak Island theories, in the text.

Hardcover. Zustand: Fine. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: fine. First edition. Fine, fresh, unused copy. First editon, first printing. Hardcover. Masp endpapers. 410 pp. with timeline. Illustrated with photographs and reproductions. Acclaimed journalist Randell Sullivan explores the "curse" of Oak Island, a small and now privately owned island off the coast of Nova Scotia south of Halifax. In the 1790s, a group of teenagers discovered a mysterious circular depression on the island, which sparked rumors of buries treasure. They dug down some 80 feet, the shaft filled with clay, dirt and wood but at that depth the shaft continually flooded with water and further exploratiopn was impossible. Over the next two-plus centuries, the mystery of Oak Island's "Money Pit" has fired the imagination of generations of treasure hunters (including a young Franklin Delano Roosevelt). Swaths of the island have been excavated, bulldozed, and otherwise delved into (four lives have been lost in those attempts). Theories abound as to what may (or may not) be concealed---priate treasure? Marie Antionette's lost jewels? the Holy Grail? proof thast Francis Bacon was the true author of Shalespeare's plays? This book inspired the History Channel documentary of the most recent quest, by a pair of brothers from Michigan. Artikel-Nr. E29876
