Going into this book I think I expected an inspiring environmental activism book that dealt with water issues in the American Southwest. I came to find that it was about extremist environmental activists who were crass, racist, sexist, and extremely hypocritical. I kept looking for the purpose of the characters being so difficult to relate to but I could not figure it out. The descriptions of the west are interesting and unique with similarly interesting chase scenes but this was not enough to make the book worth reading in all honesty.
