Book Reviews of Bigfoot! : The True Story of Apes in America

Book Review: One of the Better Bigfoot Books Around!
Summary: 4 Stars

There is no question that this is one of the better bigfoot books ever written. But it's only a Bigfoot 101 course. So be forewarned. This is not a book for a field researcher who is trying to target a geographical area to study.

I rate this book just a notch below Jeff Meldrum's book "Legend Meets Science" simply because Dr. Meldrum is a real scientist.

The reason I give this book four stars instead of five is because it's still only an introduction to the bigfoot subject, which is good if you're just getting into it. However, I have always had my reservations about Coleman because I think he's part of the problem. He's just another armchair bigfoot book author (hiding in the woods of Maine), content with the mystery persisting. He's even said on television that he's happy with the real physical evidence never being found because "in his mind" he knows it's real.

Sure...so he can keep writing and selling more books. Just like those who capitalize on conspiracy theories and paranormal subjects like UFOs.

With that said. Buy the book as a minor addition to your personal bigfoot library. But don't expect ground breaking news. For those looking for high quality bigfoot books or DVDS...first check to see if the producers and/or authors actually get out in the field and meet witnesses. This is where you'll find the gems. A great example of this is Alley's book "Raincoast Sasquatch." This is real investigative research...not "Internet" or "phone" research.

And by all means...stay away from Tom Biscardi crap.

Summary of Bigfoot! : The True Story of Apes in America

For years, scientists and researchers have studied, speculated about, and searched for an enigmatic creature that is legendary in the annals of American folklore. Now, learn the truth about...

BIGFOOT!

In this fascinating and comprehensive look at the fact, fiction, and fable of the North American "Sasquatch," award-winning author Loren Coleman takes readers on a journey into America's biggest mystery -- could an unrecognized "ape" be living in our midst? Drawing on over forty years of investigations, interviews, and fieldwork on these incredible beasts, Coleman explores the modern debates about these powerful, ape-like creatures, why they have remained a mystery for so long, and what we can learn about ourselves from these animals, our nearest cousins!

From reports of Bigfoot's existence found in ancient Native American traditions, to the controversial Patterson-Gimlin film of a Bigfoot in the wild, to today's Internet sites that record the sightings almost as soon as they occur, Coleman uncovers the past, explains the present, and considers the future of one of the greatest unsolved mysteries in the natural world.
