Paranormal Creatures: Investigating Cryptozoology Reviews
-
This book was available for free on Kindle when I found it, so the very least I can do for the author is leave a review. I am happy to say I enjoyed this book, and it introduced me to a couple of cryptids which were totally new to me!
I had never heard of the Beast of Bodmoor. Exmoor, yes, but not Bodmoor. I had also never heard of Flying Rods. I had heard a tiny bit about the Bunyip and the Wendigo, but the Beast of Gevaudan was a complete surprise. I was so happy to learn more about the world's legendary creatures. To be honest, before this book I knew more about the World of Darkness Bunyip and Wendigo then the legends that gave the game developers the names.
Bauer only spends a few pages per cryptid, but he gives extensive citations for further followup. His tone is skeptical, and he is unafraid to admit where there is scanty evidence or a known history of hoaxes. He's also unafraid to let his complete disbelief show, as in the Flying Rods chapter. While he is diplomatic, he seems to give more weight to the debunkers than the promoters of this photographic phenomenon.
I look forward to reading other books by Bauer, and giving my thoughts on them as well. Four of five stars. -
Explores Some Famous Cryptids
This short book was an exploration of some well known and not so known cryptids. From the Loch Ness monster to the Wendigo, Thunderbird, Yeti, Beast of Bodmin, Beast of Gevaudan, Bunyip, Kraken to reptilian, each is explored in a scientific manner. I enjoyed listening to the audio book version as well. An entertaining short work that cryptid fans should enjoy. -
If you are reading this book just for factual information then this book delivers. However it does read like a text book. Story telling is kept to a minimum. Good information but a dull read.

As a cryptozoology enthusiast it was impossible for me not to read this book. This book is a good starting point for beginners.

Facinating
This book was very informative and a great read. I have been fascinated by cryptozoology for years and this book was just what I was looking for -
I actually finished this on 11/13/2015 but I kept forgetting to update date it, even though it's on like 81 pages it's still a good book to pick up and read.
