5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent book

I had noticed there was some trolling about this book and I wanted to form my own judgement so downloaded a copy. I thoroughly enjoyed it and would recommend to anyone. It has a lot of information about the usual cases you can read about on the internet as well as a lot more that don't appear in a Google trawl. The author has obviously spent a long time researching and chasing newspaper and other reports. I personally have no problem with the joking or terms like neds, it just informs me that the author has spent time in Scotland. I will look out for more from this author.

4.0 out of 5 stars A good book, but flawed source for further research
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on August 24, 2016

This is an interesting review of sea serpent sightings and discoveries. It is well researched and generally well written. However, there are a number of issues which render it less than useful for those wanting to undertake further research the subject of sea 'monsters', specifically a lack of referencing and indexing. Although there is a bibliography, the numerous accounts of sightings from newspapers are not referenced making it difficult and time consuming for anyone wanting to inspect an account further. It is occasionally unclear whether some quotes are taken directly from an original source or are paraphrasing by the author, i.e. 'The intestines of a bank, min, so it could name have been only fresh, ye ken'. A reference would have clarified if this was attributable to Smith (Provost of Girvan) or paraphrased by Vaudrey.

The authors 'humour' is far too prevalent and disturbs the flow of reading, as do the frequent deviations into pointlessnes. For example, is the recent draining of a section of the Manchester ship canal and rediscovered objects dumped in it (such as trolleys and sofas) really a worthwhile introduction to the discovery of a carcass in the Caledonian canal?

More uncomfortable are the authors derogatory comments towards young people, frequently referring to them as 'neds' (a Scottish equivalent of the term chav) such as in connection with an 1830 sighting on Benbecula. Is that really necessary and appropriate given some of the potential readership of this book? It may be humour, but it greatly detracts from the serious nature of the book.

In addition, some of the editing is sloppy - 'yep' and 'nineteen odd years' are not the best uses of English by the author and shamefully allowed to pass by the editors. If the publishers/editors are attempting to publish serious studies into cryptozoology, then they should look to academia and perhaps establish some style guidelines (i.e. Captioning all images). Books don't have to be stuffy, but too many colloquialisms can detract from an enjoyable read and make it appear less of a serious study into the subject.

If you can see beyond the poor humour and occasionally sloppy editing, then this is a good and interesting book. If you're looking to undertake further research in this area, it will point you in the general direction you need to go looking in but you'll have to track down all the primary sources yourself.
