it was amazing

My thanks to Random House/Ballantine/Del Ray. Whew! That's a mouthful! Also, Netgalley, and the often brilliant Max Brooks! I tried not to read this book! I knew I'd love it, so I thought I'd just save it for a month or two. Impossible! The Squatch? I don't believe, but if I did I wouldn't be living here in Montana! Nope. I'd love in a high rise in some awful city! This story worked for me. It wasn't really scary, much! But, I don't like monkeys, orangutans chimps, etc. I think they are flea infested, poop flinging, bastards! Maybe I'm a bit jealous! I have a few people I'd like to fling my poop at! Also, I have seen those shows where some of them hunt! Now, just imagine that, except much taller than us. Wider, and hungry. I did love how these characters came together to become less humane. Still, they found a deep respect and love for each other. More hunter, than the hunted! Actually, that's not quite right. They were definitely hunted. A green village, where everything is delivered by drone. Not even a damn nail, hammer or screwdriver in the whole place! I may get by "if I had to," without a hammer, but a screwdriver? I use screwdrivers all the time! Damn...I love this story. I have really loved many of these characters. Great job, Mr. Brooks!

Dollie I thought this was great and I loved the characters. who sure had a lot of guts. I still have dreams sometimes about their garden. I had never thought of Sasquatch as a threat, but now I would NEVER want to encounter one.


Michelle Great review! I love this book too :)

Dollie I loved this story.


message 9: by Sue (new) - rated it 5 stars

Sue I think I’d read anything Max Brooks writes! His zombie books sucked me in and made me a believer! This one did the same.


LIsa Noell "Rocking the chutzpah!" No argument from me! I love his books.😍🐾🐳

Heidi I love all things Big Foot but I haven’t really read any books on the subject� between the old TV show and the occasional Ohio “Grassman� sighting, what’s not to love? 😎

Annnnnd, once again, she succeeds in making me spit my drink out and snort loudly! 😂


Dollie I love your review. I'm glad I'm in Maine if you're out there throwing poo. I loved this story, too. I think I reread it as soon as I'd finished it. He's a very talented and imaginative writer (just like his dad).
