1.0 out of 5 stars Sometimes sounds like Yeti is a fact then other times like Yeti is unproven folklore, June 30, 2006

By	Charles Ashbacher "([e-mail])" (Marion, Iowa United States([e-mail])) - See all my reviews (TOP 50 REVIEWER)

The word abominable is a fitting description of this book. The author bounces back and forth from phrases that are skeptical to those that seem conclusive that the creature exists. This is all summed up in the two paragraphs on page 15.

Is the Abominable Snowman fact or fantasy? Why hasn't one been captured? Why has no one taken any good photographs of the beast? All that the scientists and "monster hunters" have are casts of the giant footprints the creature has left in the mountain snow.


Note how the paragraph starts out skeptical and then ends with a statement that sounds factual. The author clearly is trying to make the case for the existence on the basis of very slim evidence that is miss-stated in favor. There is no hard proof of the existence of the creature, yet Antonopolus tries very hard to make it sound like there is.
