I was a fan of the t.v. series Destination Truth; When I found out that the host of it had written a book about it I thought the book would be just as good, and it was. It told of his first adventure and what got him into monster hunting,it also told about alot of things that went on during the series that the cameras didn't show. The book made me really want to travel and meet the people and hear their stories, even if they aren't exactly true. If there is one thing that the book has made me understand is that trips of all kinds really aren't about that destination and are in fact about the journey; A quote I shall forever cherish. Josh Gates is a true storyteller. And he has tons of stories. He's the host of "Destination Truth" on the SyFy channel, for which he travels around the world investigating local legends. He's spent the night alone in King Tut's tomb. He's looked for the Yeti on Mt. Everest. He's met the dude who has to go inside the Chernobyl nuclear reactor monthly to videotape the status of the reactor (and then leave his video camera behind because it's too full of radiation to keep).Anyone interested in cryptozoology, extreme travel adventures, or even just a good story would enjoy this book. I was fascinated by these stories, and Gates has a wonderful deadpan and sarcastic sense of humor.
It's not bad, but just watch the show. You get as much Josh on as on TV, and it takes less time.
