Summary: If you want to know about cryptozoology, don't read this.
Comment: This book passes itself off as a large overview of fascinating creatures which are rumoured to exist, yet winds up trudging into the rediculous and silly. While the book does contain some nice references in the form of photos and drawings from actual paranormal cases, it also delves into childishness like boogeymen and jackalopes.

Another problem with this book is the lack of good organization. It skips around a good bit and seperates things like Sasquatch and Skunk-apes, which are obviously similar, if not the same thing.

In short, I believe this would be a good book for a third grader interested in the unknown, but anyone looking for facts should look elsewhere. Read Grover Krantz's "Big Footprints" or John Green's "Year of the Bigfoot".

Summary: entertaining
Comment: This book is entertaining in that it's humoristic but it also provides some nice insights into Native American as well as local folklore and decent cryptozoology/paranormal info.No it's not Keel,Coleman,or Sanderson,but it's worth reading.
