The Curse of Oak Island: The Story of the World's Longest Treasure Hunt

The book is unbelievably written and historically correct its tells every searchers story so far and makes me wonder how there as not been a movie made of this it would bring so many non readers to this real life epic story

Great Author and Book - nice read

Great read and puts things into focus

A great read for fans of the mystery, fans of the TV show or just anyone who picks it up. You get a very thorough but concise history not quite in a chronological order due to having jump about but definitely a logical order. It just tips D'arcy O'Connors book as it has a more modern edge and the authors relationship with the big players of the last 50 years. Love the sentiment towards Henskee as he always had a bit part in some books and even the TV show at times but in reality has been a masive part of the search. I loved the mystery before the COOI, the show although it has it's ups and downs in terms of success has me even more enthralled and i am definitely rooting for the Laginas and Co who all seem such genuine people. Therefore if you are doubting that something happened along time ago on Oak Island, read this and O'Connors books and you will be convinced. Last point, the author doesn't skim over all theories and then ram his down your throught like some books.

Very good book about the history and possibilities on Oak Island. One slight piece of advice, if you can wait for the paperback version in December 2020 you might want to buy that as it will be an updated edition.UPDATE: the hardcover edition of this book was written using research up to 2016, though published in 2018. The paperback version out in Dec 2020 has some updated information in a postscript done in 2019, but the book is largely the same as the hardcover edition.

Purchased for a friend who is a huge fan of the TV series. He said the book is really interesting and gives more information than the series. He was delighted with it.

The amount of historical information that Randall Sullivan gives you; can sometimes be a little daunting, but there is no faulting his research, and there is much to be learned here about the island and it’s past visitors.I would have liked a bit more about Rick, Marty and the team and the current situation, but I guess that’s where the TV documentary takes over.Definitely worth reading if you are interested in the history of Oak Island past and present.

I bought this off the back of being an avid viewer of the series on the history channel. It is a well written and researched book.

Für Fans der Serie einfach ein muss....Gut geschrieben einfach Top

I am very familiar with this story after reading several of the books by various authors on this topic. Additionally, I have visited Oak Island in 2017, took the tour, and visited with the cast of “ The Curse of Oak Island” featured on the History Channel.This well polished book is well written and an easy, long, exciting, read. Randall Sullivan in coordination with the History Channel has produced a very comprehensive work on a very interesting subject that has captured many. The book explains many of the stories that have surfaced from many sources which continue to puzzle the viewers of the seven seasons of the television show. For example, why do they think there is an underground labyrinth of tunnels under Oak Island. The book explains tunnels and underground works by pirates have been found in Tortuga and outside Kingston, Jamaica.Halfway thru the book the entire story gets very complicated for by World War II over twenty-two shafts had been dug with some up to 200 feet deep. These were dug near “The Money Pit” which uncovered many tunnels and over time the entire subterranean had become an underground sea filled with human-folly debris.The last one third of the book provides how “The Italians from Michigan,” Marty and Rick Lagina, who “back-doored” their way into the treasure hunt! Here we know how the very successful Kevin Burns convinced them to create a very successful television show for the History Channel, The Curse of Oak Island. The first episodes commenced in January of 2014 and are now in the seventh season.Although this book has no index or reference section, I enjoyed reading it. Maps of the island and where it is in the world would be helpful. The 12 page time-line in the back of the book is very helpful. I highly recommend this book to the novice and the fanatic of the History Channel series for historical understanding and the fact it reads like a mystery novel! It is difficult to put this book down.

L'ho comprato per semplice curiosità. In una puntata della serie l'autore parla del suo libro ed ho provato a comprarlo per leggere se in effetti vi fosse qualcosa di nuovo da sapere su quanto non sia già stato detto. Nulla di che a dire il vero. Bella comunque la copertina e la qualità di stampa del libro. Fa la sua figura nella mia libreria. Saluti

Je regarde le show depuis quelque mois maintenant, car les templiers et les recherches de trésors ont toujours était ma passion, et j'adore !! Ce livre est tout simplement génial, la quantité de détails est enrichissante et permet d'éclaircir quelque détails qui n'était pas forcément bien expliquer dans le show.

A must buy for Oak Island aficionados.
