★★☆☆☆
Not worth the purchase for more than a beginning student.
I give it 2 stars just because of the work that went into putting the books together.This book is actually 2 or 3 books put together in some sort of chronological order. I already own the Book of Enoch and some other similar texts, and this (The Book of Giants itself) is not enough to publish to make its own book. So if you own the other books i really cannot recommend that you get this one. There simply is not enough new information to warrant spending the cash. The Book of Giants information is heavily fragmented and almost unreadable at times. Key words are missing, sometimes an entire end or beginning of sentence is lost. When they are combined together, after the first portion of Enoch, the Book of Giants is non-existent since it is so short. So even though it is interesting information, and corroborates the other books, and may offer a new name or 2, there really is not enough additional information to make this a worthwhile purchase.
In the event you do not own the book of Enoch and you are in the process of learning from a beginners level, this is an interesting read to get most of the information in one place, but again, you will have to deal with fragmented information in sections and it becomes frustrating at times in the first section.
