Believing in Bigfoot is my little crazy indulgence. I don't really really believe in him, but it's fun to entertain the notion. This book for reals pushed that belief forward. The theories put forth delighted and inspired.

Also this book is terrifying and gross. Once the massacring starts, it gets graphic and quite massacre-y. A+

The narrative's delivery (via journal entries and interviews and articles and book quotations) adds greatly to the suspense and overall enjoyment.

Also enjoyed the commentary vis a vis technology and nature and our society.
