About this listen

 The sightings of strange winged beings is as old as history itself and it’s still happening today.

In the late summer of 2011, three reports of Mothman-like flying humanoids surfaced in the city of Chicago, then nothing. Whatever it was disappeared. Then unexpectedly in early 2017, a smattering of encounters emerged from different locations throughout the Chicago metro area. These reports quickly grew to nearly fifty before stopping suddenly at the end of the summer.
Why Chicago? Why now? This book will examine the witness accounts as well as the investigators thought processes in real time as these incidents were brought to our attention.
The sightings continue… but we are determined to find the truth. Unexplained Mysteries

The premise of the story was intriguing. However, the book is more or less a copy and paste of "reportings" (many of which contain similar phrasing that make me suspicious some are simply reports from the same person using a different name) with a quick insert by the author between each copy and paste (most, of the time, not every time which was a tad confusing for the listener since its all in first person). I made it approximately 3 hours into this story and decided I had no interest in finishing it. The novel has many typos which come out in the reading because it's done by virtual voice. The author claims to have a "task force" but for the first half of the story (I only got that far) they seem to be little more than friends who are not identified nor does the group as a whole ever seem to physically go anywhere to investigate anything. (many references are made to underpasses near "hot spots", how exciting would it he to hear detailed accounts of investigators going out to these locations to look for physical evidence, yet nothing of the sort happens). This is fine for listening if you need a time filler, but if you're hoping to have anything with intrigue that is well written and furthers the topic, this is not it. on a positive note, I found the virtual voice to be fairly good.

Not a great audiobook, more of a time filler

I will confess I only got through about 3 hours of this book before I had to stop. The book is mainly submissions made to a UFO website about sightings of the Mothman in and about Chicago. They reminded me of those Penthouse Forum posts that all began, "I never thought it would happen to me..." but substitute seeing a bat-like creature instead of a sex fantasy.

As another reviewer mentioned, there are so many typos. I found some of them amusing at first, but then it just seemed sloppy. Also, little research was done concerning even the basic layout of the city. No, Lincoln Park is not on the Southside of the city.

That said the AI voice did a pretty good job. However, I hate that it is taking away a job from a real person.
