Book Reviews of Valley of the Skookum: Four Years of Encounters With Bigfoot
Book Review: Creative Fairy Tale
Summary: 2 Stars
The first three quarters of this book read like a creative writing accomplishment by the autor. If this poor lady had all of these experiences happen to her, she would indeed be considered a paranormal magi extraordinaire. Sali Sheppard-Wolford brings to mind an annoying acquaintance, who upon hearing of any pertinent experience, adds her own, "Oh, that happened to me,too." Each venture into the forest surrounding this lady's home in Washington state presented, according to her, yet another fantastic mysterious encounter to add to the long list of Bigfoot sightings, UFO experiences, spirit guide odysseys, spirit lights, phantom trains, and on and on.
I found the story interesting, however unbelievable, until an abrupt change in direction of the storyline during the last quarter of the book. All of a sudden, instead of the fantasy tale of monsters, hauntings, and alien phenomena, we are taken on a dark journey into the realms of the authors unstable marriage. There are comments from the very beginning of the story about the lack of interest that her husband has for her, and vice versa. This one revealing aspect of her tale made me wonder if in the midst of a very unhappy realtionship, she out of an unconscious need for a diversion, created these aberrations for herself. One would need the objective recollection of the other individuals in the story to put all the pieces of this puzzle together. Simply put: "Marginally believable, but entertaining."
