I'm looking for something a little more in-depth that focuses more on the plot. Alton:

First, the book deals with the idea of an actual Bigfoot (or Bigfeet - since there is more than one) in a fairly realistic way. Rather than sensationalize the concept of Bigfoot being real, the characters react as I would if I found the hairy monsters to exist. Bigfoot is a creature living in the woods, protecting its territory. It's not King Kong. It keeps the story grounded and kept me caring about what happened to the characters. Second, the story is fairly informative about nature and culture. While going on a journey with the main character we learn about survival techniques and different challenges to being deep in the woods without the proper equipment. The author also relates a lot about the history of the area and the people who have lived there for centuries. Third, the story deals with family and the protection of family - from a human's perspective and from a monster's perspective. The parallels were clever and lended credibility to much of what happens in the story. The story itself is pretty exciting - a solid thriller dealing with family, nature, and an enormous, hairy, frightening creature that could snap you like a twig. The author's descriptions of Bigfoot are pretty intense -- you can practically smell the dirt entangled in the beast's fur. And nobody wants to come face to face with those eyes. Without giving away too much, I found the ending really satisfying because the story stays true to the concept that Bigfoot is a real creature who wants to survive and protect as much as the characters do. I'm glad I read it. It will be interesting to see what else Mr. Travers has for us next. JJames2,

Can anyone else help? Thanks. It would be nice to see some excerpts, or read a more detailed plot description, but I can’t seem to find much about the book online anywhere. Can anyone else help?
