The Curse of Oak Island The Story of the World Longest Treasure Hunt Randall Sullivan 9780802126931 Books Reviews

I have been waiting for this book for some time now. After reading it, I am certainly not disappointed with the result. This Is the most complete history of Oak Island so far and will probably be the go to book going forward. If you are an Oak Island enthusiast, as I am, this book is essential reading.
A great read. Yes, it's full of details. The book is very well written and takes the reader through 200 plus years of information up to the present day TV show. For those of you who had negative comments about the book, I'm not quite sure you actually read it. Kudos to Mr. Sullivan, a job well done.
Having watched nearly every episode of The Curse of Oak Island I decided to buy this book after seeing the author on the show. The book is very well researched and mentions details that are not in the show. The only complaint I have is the chapter on Francis Bacon; it is way too long. I nearly lost interest part way through that chapter. I would liked to have read more about the current search and the people involved.
If you only read one book about Oak Island, this is it. Describes the history from the beginning, the people, the theories, the books, major articles, and the amazing finds recently made that literally influence the history of this continent.
For all the "dry" aspect of the history the author does an excellent job of putting excitement and intrigue into the story. I was not disappointed and highly recommend this book even if you have been a faithful follower of the show as have I. Many insights into the show and events surrounding the making of it. GREAT book!!!!
I was looking forward to this book.. I have seen some of the episodes of the series, The Curse of Oak Island, but not all of them. Mr. Sullivan did tons of research , I found the book a little lacking. I would have liked more information about the men, past and present who obsessed about the Money Pit, and more about the archaeological dig. It was a valiant effort on Mr. Sullivan's part. Just wished the book had a little more meat to it.
The book was well researched and well written. It flows well without dragging. The book covers the 200+ year long history of the search of/for the Money Pit through the current TV show with the Laginas. This book fills in a lot of the details that are mentioned only briefly on the show. The book also does a good job of tying together pertinent information. Like why finding Shaft 6 could be an important break thru in relocating the Money Pit's location lost since the collapse in 1861.

Sullivan does a great job in debunking some of the more dubious theories presented by both past treasure hunters and in the War Room guest theorist episodes. The historical research and explanation of the possible involvement of Francis Bacon is well done. Good read, highly recommended.
Firstly, the story of Oak Island is a full of many people such as explorers, investors etc. So it does not come as a shock there are many characters to follow. This is especially true since the author has included all the history since it’s discovery in late 1700s. However, I found it very bogged down with many details, some I found unnecessary. I was also disappointed that while he gave extensive details on theories, he completely glazed past the ivory whistle that had been found on the island. Previous to reading this book, I had never heard of the ivory whistle and I consider myself a big fan of the show. He mentions it once and gives no details of how it was found, who found it and where it is now. These details is what interests me about the entire conspiracy. I am less interested in every little detail of how big the shafts were created. The extensive history he gives on every theory (and there is many many theories) lost me. I became bored over this far fetched and wordy description. I love history but even as a history fanatic, the relation to the history he provided and Oak Island was far stretched. Overall, it was very hard to follow and I found unorganized in thought. Perhaps he could have organized each chapter by a time period of exploration. This would have made things more clear. He jumped around so much it was not enjoyable to read.
