An intriguing book...It is this humanity, this cheerful readiness to travel out into the deepest pine forests of Washington State to interview a twitchy hunter in a Chewbacca T-shirt about something he thought he heard groaning in the woods, that makes The Nature of the Beast worth reading. If science does ever acknowledge the yeti, it will be thanks to somebody very much like Sykes. - The Times
