This book was a seminal influence on me and the awareness of and development of my political ideology.
It's a fun romp. No one will ever accuse Edward Abbey of being the most skilled writer to have ever lived. This novel in particular is raucous, sometimes raunchy, always irreverent.
The characters are a bunch of misfits and outsiders fighting to protect the land they love so much. Protect the wilderness by any means necessary.
You can feel how much Abbey loves the American Soutwest in the way he describes it. Reading his words brings me back to old memories and I can taste the Sonoran dust in my teeth.
