DNF at 37%. 3.5 stars. I do not want any of this review to be interpreted as any sort of negative feedback towards the author or his obvious writing talents. I just think this was a case of not being a good fit for my preferences. The beginning portion of the story felt very slow in the parts that needed to be quicker and vice versa, so I couldn't connect with the pacing. Things jumped around between our lead and his relationships, and then to past and present instances, so that also kept me from being able to focus on the immediate situation. I am also a big fan of sasquatch/bigfoot/yeti lore, but, at least in the first third of the book, it was all kept secondary after the emotional experiences of the lead character. It may have picked up soon after, but I could not stick with everything for another hundred pages. Again, I enjoyed the writing itself, but I think fans of more horror-oriented creature features should look elsewhere to get their fix.

Who would have thought

I never would have thought that the rest stops would be in danger from sasquatch. But, why not. Get ready for a bloody battle.

Not for me.

Too many political references. I really just want to read Bigfoot stories but I'm getting a lot of subversive political opinions of the author.
