REVIEW:
Nick Redfern has written a book that includes almost every bit of information he could find about Nessie. However, the chatty writing style isn't particularly coherent, with mulitple jumping around the time line and refering to people he had already mentioned or was going to mention later on in the book. The author also fails to provide satisfactory proof for his hypothesis, though the idea is interesting. The lack of illustrations/photographs in the books, especially when the author refers to them, is annoying. The book is interesting with new (to me) information, but flawed.
