They sought out the strange. They investigated the inexplicable. They had one hell of a hangover. On an odyssey of oddities that would take them all to the very limits of their imagination (and inebriation), bestselling author Nick Redfern teamed up with professional monster-hunters Jonathan Downes and Richard Freeman. For six weeks in the summer of 2001, the intrepid-yet-hard-partying trio rampaged across the remote wilds of Great Britain in hot pursuit of werewolves, lake monsters, giant cats, ghostly devil dogs, and ape-men. Their adventures led them deep into ancient forests, into the dark corridors of a mansion hiding a wild man, and to the shores of the legendary Loch Ness -- along the way encountering all manner of curious characters, including witches, government agents, and eyewitnesses who claim to have seen monsters firsthand. And only at journey's end did the hard questions posed at the start of their quest begin to reveal some mind-bending answers. That monsters truly do exist in our world. And that we are responsible for their existence Whether you're seeking a glimpse into the bizarre reaches of reality, or just looking for a good time, Three Men Seeking Monsters is a uniquely gonzo trek with a trio of adventurers who pushed themselves to the edge -- and went right over it.Binding Type: Paperback

Good book …but some comments….
Format: Paperback
I too, have to agree with another reviewer giving four stars. I also noticed his comments on beautiful women and wondered how “Leslie” at home felt about it as well. And the wine he mentions far outweighed any reference at all to the necessary need for water on such a walk. Comments in the last few chapters on walkers who only walked the last few miles seemed a bit snarky. But he made me laugh out loud several times and I found it to be an enjoyable, entertaining read. I can only hope Leslie, at home, felt the same ! Having read many books on the Camino, this was a good read. His tragic experience earlier in life makes me give him a hug and big thumbs up for finding meaning in life and going for it. Thanks, John.

How One Journey Can Change You Emotionally, Spiritually, and Personally!!!
Format: Paperback
i've been interested in the Camino de Santiago for several years. I have seen several Youtubes on the Camino, plus read other books. Nothing has stirred me as much as this book. I felt like I had walked the entire Camino with John. I was nervous when he was nervous, laughed when he laughed, and cried when he cried. He absolutely captures the entire Camino, right to the end. I learned so much, not only historically, but also emotionally and spiritually. When I got near the end of the book, I didn't want to finish it and put it down, because I didn't want the journey to end!!! But I'm glad that I picked it up the next day and finished it, because the best part was at the end. The emotions were overwhelming to me. Great book. Now, I just have to put on my shoes and go (but not without proper preparations!!!)

The Best Narrative about the Real Camino
Format: Kindle
I have read many, many books about the Camino de Santiago and this is by far the best. It is so clearly written that I felt myself walking along with John Pearson. His description of every aspect of the Way is accurate and wonderful to read. I only walked the last 100 km, but feel now like I walked the whole way and enjoyed it without the blisters! If I were younger, I would definitely walk the entire way but am so glad John wrote his experience so that I at least can imagine what it was like. Thank you for the Most Excellent Book!

Finding God every 20 Miles
Format: Paperback
What an enriching experience it was to read John's journey on the Camino de Santiago! By the third day of reading John's experiences on the Camino, I realized how much I was looking forward to reading another chapter or two after dinner with my family. After reading his chapter entitled "The Whale in the Room," I was so moved that I shared what I'd read with my wife, Cathy and son, Alex and told them how blessed I was to have them safe and near me. What a magnificent allegory of life that the Camino de Santiago is for so many peregrinos! Thank you John for letting me walk nearly 500 miles in your Merrell Moab "moccasins!" And forgive me for earmarking a few pages along the way, I want to re-read those key pages with your wisdom until the end of my Camino on this earth. Buen vida y buen Camino Peregrino!

Insightful and off-putting
Format: Paperback
My husband and I are planning on walking the last 62 miles of the Camino. We are not going to be "real" pilgrims so I wanted to read books that would help me understand the experience.
John Pearson did a good job of taking the reader along on his pilgrimage. But as a female who remembers how distasteful it was for old men to notice her, I couldn't understand the purpose of the descriptions of the physical appearance of the women he met.
For readers wanting a taste of the journey, what did it add to include the description of a tattoo on the edge of a woman's breast and how many men were looking at it. So much of the book was thoughtful and deep and then all of a sudden there was a description of a woman as an object.
Men looking at women is not news so it felt odd that the author added that detail throughout the book. If you are not bothered by the author's need to share his observation of women and how much wine he drank, it is an otherwise worthy telling of one man's epic journey on the Camino.
