Review
Despite a lack of hard evidence, the legend of Canada’s answer to the
abominable snowman persists. This book is the latest in a series of
inconclusive volumes on the subject.
To their credit, the authors make no radical claims regarding the
existence of the Sasquatch. Their book is well written, occasionally
humorous, and packed with stories of sightings and the so-called bigfoot
“prints.”
Unfortunately, it adds little to the existing literature on this topic.
The authors merely point out that there is no solid evidence, but
sightings and footprints keep recurring. They also employ Russian
theories of evolution long since rejected by mainstream evolutionary
scientists, and omit standard observations based on solid fossil
evidence.
While by no means the worst in this genre, Sasquatch/Bigfoot will
disappoint the serious paranormal scholar/enthusiast.
