5.0 out of 5 stars One of the best!!, December 8, 2005

By	swamp thing - See all my reviews

If you are seriously interested in bigfoot or if you just find the topic intriguing or if you are looking for a good casual read, then you need this book. Its well written and easy to read. It is limited in scope, spatially. The author only considers the raincoast region of NA. Yet, the author has a good geographic knowledge of the area and places everything in that context. For that reason, the author doesn't fall into the "I'll hinge all bets on the Patterson footage" pitfall that so many of these guys can't avoid. All-in-all its a very good book with Coleman's book pulling up second. Plus, you won't have to hide it when the neighbors come over. Let them read a few pages and get drawn in.

4.0 out of 5 stars Canadian coast "investigation", January 19, 2004

By	R. Howell "boriskhan" (Medford, OR) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Being a sasquatch buff, I picked this book up in a little store in Bandon, Oregon. I'm glad I did. Robert Alley takes more than a passing interest look into the sasquatch phenomenon and keeps it to a region he is fairly familiar with, the coast and islands of British Columbia. Alley does an excellent job in his research and reiteration of the stories/sightings that he was told / investigated. For those that enjoy a good thorough look into sasquatch/bigfoot, pick this book up but keep in mind, Alley sticks to a limited region here; he does not talk about occurances in the U.S. as those can be found in many other books. It is a fairly limited geographical region he covers but he covers it exceptionally well. Definitely a book to pick up for the avid bigfoot follower.

5.0 out of 5 stars Hard To Put Down, April 26, 2006

By	R. McRae (Saugus, CA) - See all my reviews

I've been caught-up in the whole Sasquatch/Cryptozoology phenomenon since Jr. High, and consider myself very well read on the subject; John Green, Rene Dahinden, Loren Coleman, etc. But found this particular book extremely interesting. I was aware of several remote sightings in our 49th state, but didn't realize how frequent the sightings, and the rich prospect of scientific breakthrough. I wouldn't be surprised if the final solving of this mystery occurs in Alaska. I did however expect more reports from British Columbia and Washington State, but past publications, and the numerous Internet websites cover those areas quite well. Stunning eyewitness accounts, and absorbing data. I can't wait for future works on the subject from Mr. Alley.
