Title: Required Reading
Review: This is yet another glowing review, but completely honest. I loved this book! Rick McKinney is a true artist; the poetic way he paints with words is unlike anything I've ever read. I had no idea what the AT was, but the more I read the more I felt like I was actually on the trail with him. The raw honesty of his writing was so captivating; I couldn't put Dead Men down. It also brings to light many issues with American culture that most people choose not to think about and inspires me to be more compassionate and unselfish towards fellow beings on this planet. But it's not all heavy hiking, there are many humorous moments and I found myself laughing out loud many times. Rick McKinney and I share a common hero in the great gonzo writer Hunter S. Thompson, and he keeps the flame of his spirit alive and burning brighter than the sun. Let's hope it shines just as long.
