They picked out errors which in fact weren't errors, still didn't know what a zooform was and completely missed the point.<br /><br />Listen people, the CFZ Press are the only organisation publishing such unique books relating to cryptozoology, from authors who actually take the the time to go out into the field. Magazines such as Fortean Times may like their books to be full of sources, but as we know, the world of Forteana isn't about straight-forward mechanics and any researcher worth their salt should know that this meandering path is something we all should take, if we are to uncover any kind of excitement in a genre over-run by anoraks and armchair enthusiasts. <br /><br />'Island of Paradise' is about the chupacabara, the quest for the chupacabra, and also Jon's personal views and crazy experiences which most monster-hunter's can only dream of.<br /><br />Buy it if you want a true story about a crazy mystery...if not, stick to 'Most haunted'.Neil Ahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18241593955210773189noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16505569.post-52320122495441020582009-08-04T13:01:40.680+01:002009-08-04T13:01:40.680+01:00Not trying to sound sycophantic, but I *liked* the...Not trying to sound sycophantic, but I *liked* the opinions, beliefs and childhood memories.
