Destination Truth: Memoirs of a Monster Hunter

I will make a confession before my review...I have never seen the show Destination Truth. Having said that, I know Josh Gates more through his show Expedition Unknown (which I LOVE and him in it).
In Josh's book about his time filming his show Destination Truth, the message is clear, it's not about the Destination, it's about the journey. The book is chock full of his adventures, not all of which are pleasant, but all of which make for great storytelling. From spider infested sleeping accommodations to close call air travel to interesting characters met along the way, Josh's signature humour, wit and ability to find something valuable in every situation make for a fun and engaging read. Truth be told it's not about the monsters at all and more about the adventure and travel and amazing locations and people and that's what I love about his show Expedition Unknown and also about this book. Yes the legends, folklore and myths are interesting and intriguing, but the adventure to find these things or to prove or disprove them is more rewarding than actually finding them. Josh's infectious enthusiasm and personality bleed through the pages and I found I could not put it down, flying through the book in a couple of days. If your a fan of Josh Gates, Destination Truth or Expedition Unknown or just like o read about adventure travel then I highly recommend this book.
