I got this book at a scholastic book fair in middle school. Now, I'm in my junior-coming-on-senior year of high school and I've finally managed to make time for it. It, uh, wow it sucked.

Now, I'm not dragging the book for being children's literature (I wouldn't be pleasant company if I made the habit of that), but even as children's literature, it fails to engage and just doesn't understand the age group it's going for.

For example, there are some pretty wordy passages here, like "legate, boughs, clitter," and "espied"; words that no child would ever know. And, by the time you do learn those words, the book starts to sound patronizing. Like, do you seriously have to sell that giants are real? Everybody knows by now that they are, who are they trying to convince?

In short, I wish that the book could've been better. I'm sad, mad, but worst of all, disappointed (◕︵◕) ( )

I absolutely LOVE this book! The art, the myths, seem so real, so convincing! Th names, the stories are stuck in my mind! ( )

The artwork is wonderful and fitting of the title. The layout is in a scrapbook style. It tells many things that you would like to know about giants. Their history, life cycles, clothing, stories and evidence of their existance. A page turner for anyone interested in giants. ( )
