Book Reviews of On the Loose
Book Review: Changed my life...
Summary: 5 Stars
I was about to give my original copy of this book to my son, thinking it was out of print. I wanted to share the insights and the beauty of this book as a way of sharing my love of all places wild. Something made me look to see if copies were still available and was thrilled when I saw that it was back in print for a new generation to experience. Even though Glen Canyon is "gone", and many of the places these boys experienced are covered (or nearly covered) with masses of humanity, there is still the spirit of this book that lives on in the places that are left. I first read this book in high school and it definitely had a huge impact on my life. I read it, and reread it so many times that it became a part of who I am. One of my favorite quotes in the book was by Steve McQueen; "I'd rather wake up in the middle of nowhere than in any city on earth". That pretty much describes me to this day! If you have any love at all for wild places, read this book. It's beautiful, and it will reach places inside of you that have been dormant, just waiting for the right catalyst to bring them alive.
