11 of 11 people found the following review helpful. Excellent read. RealisticBy Virginia Art TeacherThis one is worth writing a review for. Excellent read. Realistic, knowledgeable. Great descriptions of friendship, hunting techniques, action on snowmobiles, dealing with hypothermia and cold snow conditions. The woods come alive. The men are fit, balanced, courageous and loyal. The sheriff is helpful and reasonable. I liked the native american woodsman...smart and competent. Quite a tribe of hairy bigfoots, not over the top insanely violent but territorial and ticked off when some of their kin are killed. The story moves smoothly and quickly with a lot of action and holds the reader's attention throughout. Long enough to give a satisfying read. I was really glad the author didn't need to include profanity or sex or extreme violence or a large bloody body count to make the story interesting. Bigfoot is a great satisfying non-occult creature feature boogyman.Not sure if he will ever prove to be real, but great fun to consider the possibility. Safely, of course, behind closed doors. Anyway, kudos to this author, hope he will give us another good read or reads down the road.12 of 13 people found the following review helpful. Bigfoot is not a warm fuzzy forest giant! He is angry and out for blood!By Restoring the Stationmaster's HouseI am neither related to the author nor asked to write this review. I purchased this to read at my cabin in the middle of nowhere and am glad I read it in my small town instead. If I would have read this at my cabin, I probably would have drove the 5 hours home after reading it, it was that suspenseful and scary. This was fast paced and when I started reading, it was hard to put down. The author was descriptive, I felt like I was there. I could feel the cold and snow. I felt bonded to the characters. Many times I read books where I could care less what happens to the characters, in this I felt for the characters and wanted them to survive. The siege was violent and scary. There is one part that describes this bigfoot moving under the snow to get to the cabin. OMG! I thought the author did a great job of making you feel like you were there. I hope he writes more books, I will definitely read them. I am 55 years old and this is probably the first time a book has scared me since I was 15. Good job. Will be heading to my cabin in two days, will be extra cautious in the woods. Thanks for the scare!4 of 4 people found the following review helpful. Finally a book with Bigfoot, a decent plot and lots of action/adventure!By G. AlexanderFinally someone has written a book with a decent plot and action/adventure including Bigfoot. You don't have to believe that Sasquatch exist to enjoy this book (remember, it's a work of fiction) but it was a good adventure involving some friends hunting out in the woods who encounter something they never believed existed. I think this is the author's first novel, (self-published via create space?) and I hope a publisher picks him up because he has talent. If you read authors like William Kent Krueger, Craig Johnson, C.J. Box, or Joseph Heywood, you'll probably enjoy this. Mr. Buckner's writing may not be at their level yet, but the story was good and the characters interesting. I look forward to future books from this author and I sincerely hope he develops into a best selling author. As a first novel, this was great.
