This book was interesting and the topic was fascinating. However, this book is extremely repetitive (just imagine if I wrote that exact sentence eight more times throughout this review, that would give you an idea on how repetitive this book is). It also suffers greatly for not having been edited by someone who actually understands proper grammar and spelling in the English language. While you can figure out what the authors are talking about, there exist many situations where you will stop and say "wait, what?" due to misspelled words (sometimes the words are spelled correctly but it is not the word that they intended to use). There are also many situations where punctuation is omitted or randomly inserted.Overall, I gave three stars due to how interesting the topic is. -1 star for repetition and -1 star for atrocious grammar and spelling.
Firstly, kudos to Kevin Lee Nelson for his paranormally perfect cover design. It is visually weird, intellectually enticing and poetically evocative of the 1903 time-frame of the bizarre story. I have NOT seen a cover to a book quite as gripping as this in some time.As to the innards of the book itself, there are typos and words misused throughout the text. Pages 32 and 37 have 'severed' where the correct word should be 'served.' Elsewhere, 'subjugate' is used when the right word would have been 'sublimate.' On page 213 'then' is missing the 'n'. And so forth. Given three authors and a probable proof-reader or more, such gaffs should have been caught before publication. Perhaps the second printing will be more blemish-free. The book also is rather clumsy in starting-up. The chronology of events is a virtual reprint of the actual 1903 newspaper article that told the tale of terror in the first place. And given that ALL there really is to the story of the Van Meter Visitor is contained in that original article and a few subsequent ones, the book would have been much more effective by starting with those news articles themselves. The cataloging of the witnesses to the alleged encounters with the Visitor also comes at us too soon and in a very confusing way. Mention is made a couple of times of a "Handsome Bachelors" group photo that includes a few of the main players in the strange story - yet one never learns what the group portrait was all about or what it may have hinted at as far as a possible practical jokers club as well as its being a 'handsome bachelors' grouping. Nor do we see that complete photo. The photo of a group of folks used for the History chapter is not even identified. A chapter number for a simplistic map of 'Where is Van Meter?' also seems more appropriate for a high school term paper than a polished probing into the paranormal. So the book begins bumpily, seemingly ineptly in many ways.But then the book takes wing and soars. Somewhat like the Visitor itself! Yes, Lewis/Voss/Nelson approach the mystery from all avenues and cast brilliant light on all of the possible explanations as to what may have happened over the course of those long-ago fall nights in 1903. Every angle - from hoax to UFOs to misidentification of large birds to mass hysteria to interdimensional, ultraterrestrial causes - is admirably and astutely explored. The breadth of speculation in this - the heart of the book - is intellectually stimulating and mind-boggling. The ill effects of the awkward entry into the story and the irritating typos and misused words are vastly minimized by the panoramic sweep of the topics so admirably addressed by our three adventurous authors.There is an Achilles heel is the entire tale, however, though it is no fault of the authors. And that is the lack of any testimony from the main witnesses to the alleged event other than mention of their names in the original news article written by one H.H.Phillips - who was, by the way, warned against in an article printed anonymously two days after the story first was printed. Unlike stories such as that of the UFO crash in Roswell, wherein tales were told by primary witnesses to their families and friends, handed down through the generations, nothing like this seems to have happened amongst the citizenry of Van Meter. Surely, if the story were true, one of the many witnesses would have told his children or grandchildren - or written it in a diary or readdressed it in further newspaper articles down the years. Surely something other than the incriminating silence that apparently swallowed the story after its initial run in the press. The fact that a story ran two days after the first telling of the tale, wherein the folks of Van Meter are "indignant" over what they felt was "pure fabrication" and "the height of foolishness" doesn't help the story gain legs - or wings! On page 15 of this book Van Meter's current library director informs our authors that "the legend of the mysterious beast is still alive among the rural community of Van Meter, and even though many of the specifics of the events have been all but forgotten, much of the original tale had been passed down from generation to generation." Yet nothing of this enticing claim pans out within the pages of the book itself. The story truly begins and ends with one man - H.H. Phillips. The rest is...silence.The closing contemplations of the book hinting at the current residents of Van Meter "looking to embrace its strange monster history" can make one further doubt the veracity of the entire strange saga. There may not be any monsters in them thar hills...but there is undoubtedly money! T-shirts with attached bat-wings, weird postcards and whatnot - the big business of ballyhooed Festival Days is already apparently in the minds of the locals! Yes, anyplace and anywhere can cash in on its local legends - be they real or fake - and party like there's no tomorrow. I truly wish Van Meter all the prosperous best. I only wish there were more to the story than the enigmatic H.H. Phillips.All in all, THE VAN METER VISITOR is a completely compelling and eminently entertaining excursion into the world of the weird. A perfect book for this Halloween time of year!
The writing style is fluid, the topic is intriguing and I'd recommend this book to friends and family. One of the more unique finds in terms of books that I've come across.
I liked it. Could have been better. More information would have been nice. A good read.
A very interesting book. Really makes you think what people seen.
I guess that there is only so much that can be said about the original incidents themselves, but it seemed like there wasn't much space devoted to discussing them.
An excellent read/
Thoroughly enjoyed this book ! Recommended to those who love unexplained mysteries !
