A review by ronanmcd
The Monkey Wrench Gang by Edward Abbey

5.0

I was put off by the introduction which described the author as a big government hating libertarian racist, misogynistic xenophobe. As a consequence I saw much of that in the first part of the book. Then I became hooked, and was glued to the characters railing at all "progress" showing it up for what it is: Christian characters lie and cheat to the top, corporations spread wide webs of acquisition, industry destroys nature and public land is parcelled out for financial benefit.
I haven't a clue what happened with that ending, other than perhaps to set the book up as a series.
