5.0 out of 5 stars Fresh insights into the unknown., February 16, 2006

By	Randy R. Garlipp (Omaha, NE USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

If you like your mysteries with one foot firmly entrenched in reality, than this book is for you. No wild speculation here but merely reporting the stories as the author uncovers them with no embellishments. For those of you who gravitate towards cryptozoological mysteries you will not be disappointed as there is fresh new information found nowhere else and for the novice there is a fine section explaining what cryptozoology means and how to go about doing your own research. For those who like more of the paranormal, there is plenty here also that will arouse curiousity and questions. This book has 12 photographs with various illustrations and gives real names and places one can investigate on their own. All in all a very entertaining and informative book which I would recommend to anyone with an interest in this area.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Superb Collection , March 8, 2006

By	Gene McCloud (Midwest USA) - See all my reviews

What a research breath of fresh air. "More Strange Highways" is a superb collection of Cryptozoology investigations as well as the techniques used but the book does not stop there as it continues into many unknown regions of strange events and as the author puts it, "an investigation might go full circle --- returning to reality!"

The author's unique writing talent draws the reader in as a participant of his recently investigated reports rather than the normally dry and too often repeatedly worn-out tales one normally finds in topics of this nature. Another plus to me was that Coleman then seeked out other investigators and allows them to present their theories and research throughout the book on such issues as Bigfoot, Thunderbirds and even research observation methods.

The Chapter on "The Search for the Mysterious Black Panther" is worth the purchase alone but I also immensely enjoyed Virginia's slave wall investigation, Clara's demon rape interview, Gnomes of the night and the Bigfoot information to name but a few.

It is a book I will keep close as a reference for my own amateur investigations. I highly recommend this book to young and old alike. A must have for your personal library!

3.0 out of 5 stars An improvement to Strange Highways but..., May 3, 2006

By	swamp thing - See all my reviews

This book is overall better than Strange Highways. Jerry's writing skills are improving which makes this book a much easier read than S.H. before which was chock full of mis-spellings, run-on sentences, and jumbled sentences which made no sense at all. It would be really nice if Jerry continues writing for someone at Whitechapel to invest in a good proof-reader. That stuff aside, this book is a little lighter on case studies than the first yet Jerry does something that other cryptozoo persons won't do...he uses a common sense approach. For example, if that phantom panther looks like a jagaurundi, acts like a jaguarundi, then hey! Who knows...it may actually be a jaguarundi. Jerry uses a common sense approach which is refreshing. Not only that, but it seems he takes a few stabs at Loren along the way (look up sexual behavior of Bigfoot in Loren's book and then read Jerry's jab in this book). His case studies on Road Trolls was very interesting (I was expecting some beast straight from LOTR not a pegleg, hairy, homeless looking person). I bought both Strange Highways books together and after reading the first, I really wasn't eager to read the second book. However, this is much improved and as mentioned before, I think Jerry may be the only "light" of common sense out there regarding these phenomena. He should definitely continue to keep things balanced.
