The Complete Idiot's Guide to World Mythology ReviewI was looking for a book to use as an introduction to the World Mythology. A book loaded with summaries of myths, and brief descriptions of gods, creatures and places. A book that is easy to read, that somehow organizes the information in a way that I could easily browse. This book is all that and a little bit more.
I used this book as a trampoline to the actual myths. It gave me a concise summary of the myths, which I used to decide whether I wanted to explore them in another source like in Great Myths of the World or Parallel Myths. It exposed me to some myths I wanted to study: Nordic, Celtic, Babylon, Japanese, ... With this book, I learned a bit about creatures such as Werewolves, Vampires, Zombies, and yes, The Chupacabra. It even had a section about comparative mythology in pop culture where Star Wars and The Matrix had a cameo.
I had bought other Complete Idiot's books as an introduction to a theme. As an introduction to World Mythology, this book deserves 5 stars. Not every book in the Complete Idiot's Series is a gem, but this one certainly is for me.The Complete Idiot's Guide to World Mythology OverviewMake no myth-take—this book is indispensable.
