Fun, Fictional Tale with an Authentic Twist

This is a fictional story about Teddy Roosevelt hunting a Sasquatch. It was an enjoyable story with good characterization and a few twists and turns. From the title I was expecting a story about the real life tale of an encounter with a Bigfoot that intrigued the President. I mention this so that if you were expecting a documentary book, this is a work of fiction inspired by the real life wild west tale. If you are looking for a good fictional Bigfoot tale with an authentic twist, you will enjoy this book. The author really captures the spirit of Teddy Roosevelt.

An absolutely terrible book, yet I loved every minute reading it.

Gayne C. Young has carved out an interesting niche in the realm of action/adventure, horror and science fiction novels. He has become a Grandmaster of monster stories. Some of his books, like this one featuring Teddy, and his novels BIGFOOT: THE BOGGY CREEK NARRATIVES and BIGFOOT: THE VIETNAM DEFENSIVE DECLASSIFIED, involve conflicts between legendary cryptid monsters and humans. In others, like his PRIMAL FORCE and RED FRONTIER series, the monsters remind me of the weird killer creatures in some of my favorite classic horror and science fiction movies. Indeed, Young’s fast-paced, cinematic writing style creates cool imaginary movies in my mind. In TEDDY ROOSEVELT: SASQUATCH HUNTER, he combines real historical facts about TR with a take on Sasquatch that is far from the warm and fuzzy versions seen in some movies and TV shows. Young’s Sasquatch is a vicious, scary killer who roams the Badlands of Dakota killing livestock—and people. In this fictionalized account of a trip Teddy Roosevelt once took there, Teddy helps hunt down the monster. It was Teddy who made the term “bully” a synonym for something that is particularly good. I found TEDDY ROOSEVELT: SASQUATCH HUNTER to be a bully, bloody good read.

This is a nice short story but really needed to be slightly longer. I was looking for a quick read that wouldn't require a investment of time or thought. T.R.:Sasquatch Hunter more than filled the bill.

Great story!

Really enjoyed it. Throwing T.R. In a Bigfoot story made it even more entertaining. If I have any complaint, it is that it was too short! Before I knew it, it was over. Looking forward to the next story!

Not very well written. This seemed to just be a book about a bigfoot killing people for no reason. I didn't like that. I felt the book was rushed and could have been really great if he took his time to write the book with more skilled hunting.

Let start by saying this book is very short, coming in at 92 pages. But with that being said, it is a very fun read. Join T.R. as he takes over a newly acquired ranch and must face an unknown and legendary beast.

Great

I really enjoyed the book. I would like to know more though. Was it an app or was it a Sasquatch

[Tim Frost · Rating 4 out of 5]

Short

Real short but I liked it. More like a novella than book. I have read several of the authors novels. I like his writing style

Really fun romp!

I really enjoyed seeing Teddy come to life in the setting of this story... so much fun that I couldn't put it down, and the Audiobook is even better!!

[Kathy Jackson · Rating 5 out of 5]

A fun book with a great Sasquatch. Some of the deaths disappointed me, but that makes the book better. If only the people I didn't like died, it wouldn't be as interesting.

Enjoyable read. Should have been much longer.

[Gary Lange · Rating 3 out of 5]

More of a short story than a novel.
It was jarring when Teddy fanned his pistol. That's only done in movies. You would never hit anything doing that.
Mildly entertaining yarn.
