The Mothman Prophecies Audiobook

" Grabbed this on a whim at the library because it was small and easy to tote around. Don't remember the film very well, but the book seemed quite different - and thought-provoking. Would be nice to finish it someday as I only got halfway through before wondering if there was actually a plot. From others' reviews, it sounds like things are left to mystery. I have enjoyed blaming things on "the mothman" as a joke, though! "

" This is one of those books where one feels he/she must say good things about it. Yes, John Keel has made the Mothman famous. Yes, he was actually in Point Pleasant, WV when this stuff went down. However, this book is just not very good. A minuscule amount of time is spent on the Mothman, with most of the book spending its time dealing with UFOs, men in black, and a bunch of loonies. If your interested in the Mothman, you pretty much have to read this book. But, for a deeper study on the subject you'll need the Jeff Wamsley books and the Loren Coleman book. "

" What a creepy book. Absurdity stacked on top of absurdity until you're unsure what is truth or fiction or if it really matters. "

" Read this after seeing the movie. Weird stuff. Glad I haven't seen those red eyes when I'm up late reading! "

" I started reading this book based on enjoying the movie of the same name. That seems to be at most minimally of what they share. Although the book is full of documented paranormal events from multiple eyewitnesses, it is written in such a way as to feel completely incoherent. It was a struggle to continue to pick up this book to read. I don't often 'give up' on books, but I just couldn't get this finished and have too many that I do 'want' to read. "

" Very eerie, good book tho. "

" The scariest book ever, I will never go to West Virginia again. "

" I think I'm done with this. I got pretty bored with it long ago. Keel is not a ufo sceptic. The book is often creepy, but hard to take as fact. "

" I am glad that I watched the film first, as the book is answering a lot of questions that I had. "

" Scary cryptozoology! This is the real story behind the movie The Mothman Prophecies and left me with the same sense of uncertainty mixed with foreboding that the movie did. A fascinating account. "

" I was expecting more about the Mothman. Overall the book was okay, but it jumped around a lot for me. I didn't find it creepy, but I can see why some people could. Keel's theories and "proof" are interesting. "

" The most fascinating, page-turning, paranoia-inducing book I have ever read. "

" After seeing the movie with Richard Gere, I thought the book would be even better. I was wrong. The book was terrible. "

" I read this novel after seeing the film with Richard Gere. It was an interesting read and one of those novels that linger long after the last page. The scariest part of this novel was the open ending; the lack of a conclusion. "

" Read this because I got into the X-Files. I enjoyed it. It was very much like getting into the mind of Fox Mulder. "

" Sorry, Joe. "

" Interesting stories but more about aliens than mothman. not sure I buy all of it, but something to think about. book was a bit choppy and confusing at times and didn't flow much too "

" Even better than the movie...I like a creepy book now and then...Especially when they're based on real events, like this is supposed to have been. "

" A deft blend of fact and fiction, mostly the latter, though the proportion is left to your judgment and imagination. A creepy page turner, cleverly conceived. "

" An unsettling account of a series of apparantly supernatural events that occurred in Point Pleasant (a town in West Virginia) during the 1960s. "

" Do not attempt reading without your tin foil hat secured. "

" Watch the film, don't bother with the book! Disappointing list of unexplained phenomena pretty much sums up this book. Having seen and enjoyed the film I looked forward to also enjoying this in written form. Alas this wasn't to be. Shame "

" Don't waste your time on this one. "

" it read like a disjointed journal "

" After seeing the movie with Richard Gere, I thought the book would be even better. I was wrong. The book was terrible. "

" This is like a very entertaining report of John Keel's findings in the late 60s and early 70s. It's a must read for any "believers" and scifi fans. It's entertaining, eerie, and very well written. "

" God, John A. Keel is such a beautiful lunatic. A 'Memoirs of My Nervous Illness' for our times. Seriously, this is a great book probably largely read by the wrong people for probably largely the wrong reasons. "

" West Virginia's even weirder than you thought! "

" Read this after seeing the movie. Weird stuff. Glad I haven't seen those red eyes when I'm up late reading! "

" LOVEDDD it. Another subject that i just love in books. I want to see the movie. "

" I read this book when I a teen and read it to my kids...THE MOVIE SUCKED...I was feeling down today. I know this book would pull me out of it! "

" This book was just plain weird. "
