I picked this up to get some basic knowledge of the Chupacabra for a project I'm working on and found this book to be extremely useful as an overview of the topic. Written from a skeptical, scientific point of view, the author is brutally honest about where facts are ignored and overlooked. At the same time, he comes at the subject with genuine interest and enthusiasm. I enjoyed reading this a lot more than I thought I would.
