I was surprised by how much I enjoyed this book. Based on the initial description, I thought I was launching into another outdoor adventure tale about the wild and scenic, but the author instead does an excellent job of tying together the history of the river, the boaters, and the canyon with the epic tradition of exploration and adventure that draws people to wild places. So great! I also give the author props for deftly wielding suspense and drama into the story: many parts of this book were page-turners and really thrilling. Overall, I really loved this, and can't wait to read whatever he writes next.
