5.0 out of 5 stars Things Even I Never Heard Of !!! Enthralling!, February 8, 2008

I read way too much about cryptozoology, but this was not repetetive. Some of the info has been done before, but even then there is new interesting stuff. Lots of it is new to me. It is a great addition to his previous volume. Both will be used as reference and will be reread to refresh my memory. Definately worth it for any crypto fan. I can only hope for a third volume!

1.0 out of 5 stars Very little actual information., January 7, 2009

This review is from: Further Cryptozoology (Paperback)

On one hand, this book contains hundreds of mysterious creatures. On the other hand, it features very, VERY little information about them. Some entries say nothing but "This creature was sighted in Utah. The witness thought it had hair all over its body". Gee, so detailed and insightful. Sometimes the author makes an entry, says somebody "reported a sighting of a doglike monster", then acknowledges that he has no further details. If you have no details, why include the report in the first place?! It's so frustratingly vague that there's absolutely nothing to go on - some cases have no name for the witness, others no date, and some have no location!

If you want an exceedingly long list of vague, unsubstantiated "monsters", here's your book. If you want, oh, I don't know, ACTUAL INFORMATION on mysterious creatures, try somewhere else, such as the works of Karl Shuker. Incredibly disappointed.

4.0 out of 5 stars Continuing His Previous Works, June 4, 2008

Picks-up where his previous Crypto works left off. In many cases a revision of Mr. Coghlan's prior publications but with enough new entries to stand on its own. Well researched.
