Reviews

[Peter · Rating 4 out of 5]

I really enjoyed this spectacularly designed modern book for the next generation of myth hunters. You'll find cryptid files (Chupacabra, Ogopogo, Mothman), the case of the missing body, discussion on fact or fiction, the question of footprints are solid evidence. Then the author shines a light on Nessie, what it could be and more theories. The book ends with some funny pages and job description of someone working in a zoo. Well, it was a refreshing and loud read. Really recommended!
