Book Reviews of Mothman: The Facts Behind the Legend

Book Review: This book is the one to buy
Summary: 5 Stars

Why is it that some people cannot accept the truth? That some cannot see the forest for the trees?

This is the coolest book available on Mothman, bar none. I like the fact that the authors include the information about the Point Pleasant and Mason County area, what another reviewer refers to as "tangents".

My cousin is from Point Pleasant. We spent time rummaging through the TNT area that is described in the book. It is really creepy up there, and the thought of toxic chemicals in the ground makes your mind scream about the possibilities of just what is out there -- and what it does to the genetics of living things in the area. So that information, and the information about the terrible battle that took place in town, opens up the possibility of all sorts of explanations, including hauntings, government interference, chemical genetic alterations, and mass hysteria.

The town itself is friendly and so are the people. They are not idiots, not running scared, and certainly not living in fear as some books by so-called "experts" portray them. My guess is that the friends of these experts are posting negative reviews about this book because it is so good.

I praise this book for the following reasons:
1) It is large and easy to read. There are only so many ways you can present the clippings, and they are shown in small format (so that you can see the layout as it appeared in the newspaper) and then enlarged to read the details. Otherwise, the authors would have to package a magnifying glass with each book.... duh.
2) The authors refuse to let their own opinions get in the way. Obviously the reviewers that think the authors are hiding something or didn't tell everything are just looking to pick a fight, and they miss the point of this book by a mile.
3) That the authors are local men, not outsiders.
4) That the authors took the time to put this book together. I certainly might stop back in town next time I drive through, but I don't have time to spend a week's vacation tracking down all these clippings and compiling this information. So the fact that this has been done for me makes this book a tremendous value. Thank you, Jeff and Donnie!
5) That this book tells the story from the night the legend started, and I can see firsthand how all the legend grew and grew from a few scared kids into a movie that has little to do with the true story.

Lastly, I notice some of the so-called expert reviewers either rate something with 5 stars or 1 star. How does that make you an expert?

A must-have book for every collection. You may come to a conclusion different from everyone else... and you can thank the authors for that.

Summary of Mothman: The Facts Behind the Legend

On the night of November 15, 1966, two adventurous young couples drove into the TNT area north of Point Pleasant, West Virginia. What they saw in the countryside that night has evolved into one of the great mysteries of all time: just who -- or what -- was the Mothman?

This book will answer many questions regarding just what those couples saw outside the abandoned North Power Plant that night. Culled from a variety of sources, the materials presented inside are not conjecture -- the authors are careful not to cross the line between fact and fiction -- leaving any decisions regarding the truth behind the Mothman legend solely up to the reader.
