Book Reviews of Desert Solitaire: A Season in the Wilderness
Book Review: Excellent
Summary: 5 Stars
If you love the desert, you should already have read this book if not bought a copy or two. Abbey's descriptions of Arches National Park are wonderful, especially for those of us who can't visit there as often as we would like.Book Review: Fantastic
Summary: 5 Stars
If only we could travel back in time to a world less paved... Abbey's adventures in Utah and Arizona are adventures many crave and find it harder and harder to find in today's small world. This book is special, provocative, a tad crazy, and above all, a wonderful experience. A must have for any lover of the wild.Book Review: Fantastic Book
Summary: 5 Stars
This is my favorite book. I consider Abbey to be a hippie environmentalist--a sort of modern day Thoreau. The book will suck you in and you'll be wishing you could run off to Moab and have a beer with Abbey.Book Review: Forget death, forget taxes
Summary: 5 Stars
Reading this book is, I feel, an unspoken duty of all people with any interest in what allows them to live. Unlike some readers, I interpret Abbey's vision of the best lifestyle as a balance between roots (nature) and future (society). He is not a Luddite, nor is he an anarchist. This book offends many due to its strong views (name one person that made a difference about something they were ambivalent over). The key to understanding Desert Solitaire is; (yes here comes the platitude); keeping an open mind. There is no better way to phrase it.Book Review: Forget death, forget taxes
