The Mothman Prophecies

Summary: Good story, but very skeptical about the writer.
Review: I like the book just because it was fun to read, but very skeptical about the way the writer admits he had seen ufo sightings night after night in chapter 10 of the book. My question is why in the world a guy like John Keel arms himself with only a flashlight and not a camera. He obviously sets himself up to see strange lights but does not bring a camera to capture the event. Unless he makes a book that has pictures for us to examine, and not hording all the evidence for himeself. Then I will have put him in the "Good story teller" catagory and not a "ufooligist". I must admit I am tired of all the hidden evidence about this matter, and I think we are all ready for the truth. If you want my opinion I just threw all his credibility in the bin. I must admit I really enjoyed this book.

Summary: One of few books I've read twice!
Review: This book was great! If you aren't sure if you believe in these tyes of things, you will after you read this! It'll make you look at strangers in your hometown with a whole new perspective. If you've ever had anything crazy happen with your telephone, this book will really make you wonder what happened! And it's true - the movie was horrible and has nothing at all to do with the book! Read this book and forget about the movie!

Summary: Good book for a cold night.....
Review: After watching the movie and being substantially moved by the piece, I decided to purchase the book and look further into the phenomeneon of the 'Mothman', and to be honest I was a little dissappointed.
Although able to go places the movie was not able, providing large amounts of data and witness reports of UFO activity and MIB appearances, it seemed to lack something. The title subject of the 'Mothman' was glazed over a bit and seemingly took a back seat to the other Phenomenon that Keel investigates.
I was able to move through the book at a rapid pace though, surprisingly helped by Keel's narative method of splitting the chapters into sub-chapters of no relationship. Keel does enough work to build the witness reports of those he interviews and his own eye-witness testimony, to a level by which one can only really believe them, crucial in this genre.
At the end of the day 'The Mothman Prophecies' was an entertaining read that certainly leaves the reader with more questions than answers, as every good book should do. If you are looking for 'truth' then perhaps look elsewhere but, highly recommended for cold, wet nights

Summary: Great book about a strange entity
Review: This is a gripping book about the strange "mothman" encounters in West Virginia in the 1960s. If you have any interest in the paranormal you should definitely give this book a try. It is great entertainment, even if you're one of those skeptics who don't believe a word the author is saying. I wish the plot of the movie had been closer to the book.

Summary: Whatever you may think Mothman came alive!
Review: John Keel did an absolutely terrific job, researching, developing and organizing this story. I purchased the original release and read it the same day. Overwhelmed would be a good term to use here, the book encompassed all aspects of the case.
Was Mothman real, imaginary or a paranormal entity ? Did Mothman truly have something to do with the collapse of the Silver Bridge? And have we seen or heard the last of Mothman? Some of these answer you may find in "Mothman Prophecies" if you look hard enough. Easy, enjoyable read, better than the movie !
