Story Behind The Book

Reviews

<p>The characters were well done and I found myself wanting to learn more about them. The action is well thought-out and written with real dialog. The descriptions are good and when the science or any facts were dealt with I found it quite interesting and wasn't bored at all. I might add that having passed through Yoho National Park many times I was impressed with the accuracy of the descriptions. It also gives her descriptions of the other locales that I haven't personally been to more credibility. So, did I enjoy this book? Do I recommend it? Yes to both. I would be interested in finding out what happens to the characters and this is the best praise for any book. Good Reading.--Dan Fabian, <em>Bards Ink</em></p> <p>An exciting, well-researched rollercoaster ride of a novel...I approached this book with some scepticism, but enjoyed every last page. --Paul Vella, Center for Fortean Zoology</p> <p>A lively, exciting and gripping piece of fiction based around the Bigfoot mystery -- and a number of other mysteries, too! If you are even remotely interested in cryptozoology, ancient cosmic visitors, the legends of Atlantis, human evolution and more, then grab a copy of <em>The Hunt For Bigfoot</em> by Lisa Shiel as soon as possible. --Nick Redfern, <em>Phenomena Magazine</em></p> <p>I could easily see this book turned into a movie. It begins with a murder that I could see being on the screen before the opening credits and goes on from there. Quite frankly, it doesnt matter whether you believe that Bigfoot exists as the author does or if you choose not to believe in these ideas at all. Its an entertaining book either way. I encourage everyone who enjoys mysteries to read this book. You can also astound your friends by the knowledge you acquired concerning human evolution or the lack there of. --Andrew Grgurich, <em>Marquette Mining Journal</em></p> <p>A good read for an evening campfire setting gathered around in front of pitched tents near a lake. --<em>Independent Publishing Review</em></p>
