Surprisingly not the worst book I have read this year. But that bar has been set too high. Make no mistake, this isn't a good book.
It's something to read. I'll give it that. If you like stumbling through the somewhat-incoherent ramblings of a lunatic, I guess you might enjoy this book. Anyone who appreciates quality prose, a coherent thought, and/or an author who respects the readers should stay away.
Are you looking for a good read about Sasquatch? Are you wanting to read the claims of a man who has supposedly spoken with one? Do you want wisdom and learning--or perhaps a drug-induced, Bigfoot-heavy delusion? Either way, this isn't the book for you.
Are you a fan of the Unabomber? Do you think he was right, if a little misguided? Do you love kenaf and hate marijuana? Are all of these so-called corona-virus restrictions "Marshall" law? Are the best peas always musty? Then look no further. You've found the perfect read.
Anyway, avoid this one like COVID-19. Unless you know someone who already has a copy. Then take the half-hour to fall into this endlessly concerning rabbit hole.
This book is not very good. The story with the sasquatches is somewhat interesting, but the writing is clumsy and the plot is mediocre at best. Also it was weirdly sympathetic to the Unabomber and had a random rant about Covid lockdowns which seemed really out of place. 2 stars only for Bigfoot’s sake
The best I can say is that this book was consistent. Too bad it was consistently terrible. From the first page to the last I hated it. It read like it was written by a third grader, and the story made about that much sense. I honestly feel dumber now.
Wow there is one particular harsh review of this book and I just have to say that some people do not realize how hard it is to share a story that is not conventional AND write a book about it. My podcast is full of stories like this...but again I believe that the listener/reader has no right to say that the author is making up a story or even, worse crazy. The description of the author's first meeting with Sasquatch was really beautiful unlike so many of the scary/horror stories of encountering Sasquatch for the first time. I have read many books on Sasquatch and have learned from this one and look forward to books 3 and 4.
Richard has his first conversation with Sasquatch when he was in the forest by himself. His dad was playing cards with his pals so Richard went out to explore the forest. He notices that the forest is suddenly quiet. Suddenly he sees a Sasquatch. He stands still afraid. He doesn’t know if the Sasquatch will attach him or what? It is the beginning of a friendship that will last. As visits occur, he gets to crossover to an “alternative”earth that is different from the earth he lives in. The plants and animals are larger and have an energy not seen in Richard’s world. He gets to enjoy his family of his friend Sasquatch. He learns their names. He has to go back to his world the same day. As he sees the Sasquatch, he learns how humans are hurting his world and it is starting to creep in the Sasquatch world. Why is that? Will Richard be able to teach his world to change how we treat the world he lives in?
The novel held a few surprises for me that I didn’t expect. The experiences that Richard has as he grows up and his conversations with his friend the Sasquatch had a surprise that I didn’t expect. I enjoyed seeing his friend Sasquatch and their friendship that continued to grow. In fact, I didn’t want the book to end. I hope that will be another book as I felt it wasn’t really an ending of the book but the beginning of another book? I hope so.
Disclaimer: I received an arc of this book from the author/publisher from Netgalley. I wasn’t obligated to write a favorable review or any review at all.
I picked this one up because of the interesting premise. What if we could see how Sasquatch live? It's a short read, but there are some good underlying messages in the writing, which I enjoyed. I will say I am not sure what the target audience age is, although the glossary at the back may help some younger readers.
This was a interesting read and I like the premise of getting to meet and learn about how sasquatch live. The writing is well done and I look forward to reading more books by this author in the future. I voluntarily reviewed a copy of this book.
