If you don't mind repetition
Revisado: 04-06-21
It's understandable that the nature of hunting stories makes them repetitive and often predictable, but there's enough varied prose and thoughtfulness here to keep it engaging. Though for someone who's renowned for their charisma and passion, this work of Roosevelt's can come across dry and humorless as he makes clear to illustrate that his experience and knowledge is well above that of the average frontiersman. With that in mind, the narration is downright monotonous, with a distant, gruff lack of emotion. His voice works well for the subject matter, it just needs to be elevated with variation in delivery, I found myself constantly zoning out and having to replay segments. Still enjoyed this very much, and would certainly recommend.

As the ash and chaos from Mount Rainier’s eruption swirled and finally settled, the story of the Greenloop massacre has passed unnoticed, unexamined...until now. The journals of resident Kate Holland, recovered from the town’s bloody wreckage, capture a tale too harrowing - and too earth-shattering in its implications - to be forgotten. In this audiobook, Max Brooks brings Kate’s extraordinary account to light for the first time, faithfully reproducing her words alongside his own extensive investigations into the massacre and the legendary beasts behind it.

Pretty Boring
Revisado: 01-13-21
There’s already dozens of awful slasher movies about Bigfoot, and this is basically another one. Dumb, dull characters stranded in the woods being picked off one-by-one. Brooks is eager to share the anecdotal Sasquatch lore he’s researched, but ultimately arrives at a gruesome, shallow, downright hateful conclusion. Apparently zoology just isn’t as interesting to him as sheer bloodlust.
Judy Greer manages well enough to carry 90% of the production, even if character development is severely lacking.
Would not recommend.
