A review by monte05
The Monkey Wrench Gang by Edward Abbey, Robert Crumb

3.0

I am torn as I am writing this review. On one hand, this book was a blast to read because of my knowledge of most of the places mentioned in the novel and the dynamic personalities of each of the characters. On the other hand, had I not known of the locations in the novel the lack of description would make understanding the setting very difficult; also, while the characters' personalities are interesting in of themselves I personally would have preferred better interaction between them (especially in the second half). If you are familiar with the Arizona and Utah region and are interested in strong personality types supporting to preserve nature (in a somewhat radical way) this book is just for you!
