Summary: The Mammoth Book of effluvia
Comment: You might not consider it fair to write a review while I'm still on page 386, but this is after mammoth jumping, bypassing a lot of boring, hearsay-oriented tales. Yeah, someone's got to archive these tales, but why? There's a ton of books with similar content, all of them boring. I was impressed when I visited the library and saw a UFO title under Lynn's name, since I've read her other books and enjoyed what I read. But now she's dealing with a subject I got interested in back in 1957 and I'm quite knowledgeable about UFOs. This book is a disappointment 'cause Lynn behaves like a believer. It doesn't matter if it's hearsay, she buys it. This book is not like her previous books which seem to be the result of quite extensive research. This is one is not one of them. Yeah, she sort-of provides additional details to some old tales, but this book is not for skeptics. On top of this, regardless of what you read there isn't a single illustration or photo included. This bothered me 'cause when she talks about a case that provided photo/film/video there isn't a single frame shown to see what all the hoopla is about. Read it, but don't swear by it 'cause she quotes a lot of questionable sources. We all know that Travis Walton is a liar. We all know that Strieber is putting you on and getting rich at it. We all know that Hopkins, Jacobs, et al, are not qualified to mess with peoples' minds, but Lynn gives them airtime. And so it goes. If I had edited the book it might have been no more than 150/200 pages and even that might have included a lot of the crap one finds not only in this book but in almost every book written by non-qualified believers. I also would have corrected quite a few typos. Finally, this book is too "mammoth," making it slightly bigger would have produced a thinner, "better" book. Lynn, stick to the mysteries that you have dealt with in the past and leave UFOs to those who have a more open mind. Being a believer colors whatever you want to say.
