Nick Redfern noted his appreciation of the book on Reviews of the Mysterious Kind: “True Giants is a book that is as groundbreaking as it is thought-provoking and paradigm-challenging. Hall and Coleman detail a remarkable theory – and a rich history, too – that serves to explain the many and varied accounts of huge, hairy giants in our midst. In the process of doing so, they weave a complex and fascinating story of something gigantic, something definitively monstrous but equally definitively man-like too, and something that has lived alongside us for so long, carefully shaping and sculpting our legends and folklore as it does so.” And lastly Micah Hanks of The Gralian Report called it “one of the most unique books on Cryptozoology I’ve read since Sanderson’s Abominable Snowmen: Legend Come to Life.” He concludes: “Coleman and Hall set forth with academic eloquence, and void of flamboyance and sensationalism so characterized within this field, … a highly unique study, providing a window through which we might observe life on this planet that, despite their tremendous size, we somehow have managed to overlook.”

The long awaited publication of True Giants: Is Gigantopithecus Still Alive? by Mark Hall and Loren Coleman was quick to garner praise from the reviewers for, among other things, their even-handedness in covering this taboo subject. Says Michael Newton in his review in Fortean Times: “…the authors deserve top marks for collecting all the available evidence and reviewing it even-handedly. The final product is a handsome volume, including 23 black-and-white illustrations, with all material fully sourced… Overall, True Giants is a valuable addition to the literature of Sasquatchery and natural mysteries.” JT Lindroos of Bookgasm echoed much the same sentiment: “However you may feel about the reality of the subject, True Giants presents a succinct, enlightening and tremendously entertaining case for such a creature, be it genus gigantopithecus, one of its cousins, or some other unrecognized ape-like beast. The book doesn’t make unsubstantiated claims, but lines up a delightful parade of records and reports from all across the globe, from antiquity to current date, and drops it on your doorstep so you can take from it what you will.” Nick Redfern noted his appreciation of the book on Reviews of the Mysterious Kind: “True Giants is a book that is as groundbreaking as it is thought-provoking and paradigm-challenging.
