I think, after much thought, I finally figured out what the point of this book is. Maybe. I can't say it hung together well, and aside from a strong statement on environmental protection, it lacked drive and passion. Interesting imaginitive premise, almost no plot. It wasn't a terrible read, just not an appealing one.

I received this book for free with another book that I won from LibraryThing.

The concept of this book is very unique so I loved that aspect.

This book contains a series of vignettes and I liked some more than others. Some were boring, but others were really interesting and thought provoking. Some of my favorites were, “The Keen-Ears,” “Truth Bats,” “The Riddle of Invisible Dogs,” The Antarctic Glass Kraken,” “The Spiders of Theodora,” “The Hypnogator,” “Grand Tour Butterflies,” and “Think Monkey.”

What this book really lacked were illustrations. I would have loved to seen pictures and diagrams of these invisible beasts.

Overall, this was a different but intriguing read.

This is a loosely connected collection of short stories. While the beast that feature in each of the stories are mythical, there is a healthy dose of real facts woven in which promoted me to classify this as creative non fiction. The stories are whimsical and insightful offering an interesting window and perspective into the human condition.
