Title: What a GREAT book! Hannon's gang does Abbey's proud!
Review: I was given this big thick book for christmas; my wife knows I'm a longtime fan of Edward Abbey and the Monkey Wrench Gang, and a longtime lamenter of the paradise lost of Glen Canyon. Well, this book is just splendid. So rich in details about the canyon and the dam. And then the action and suspense of the story! Man, I could not put this big fat heavy book down! Right up to the end I was in doubt about the outcome. Nerve-wracking! And indeed the outcome is as hoped-for, completely satisfying. A "happy ending" without being sentimental. This book is so impressive in its scope and breadth; it must have taken the author many years to research and write. I can't wait to go down to Utah to see that damn dam. After reading this book I feel like Glen Canyon and the dam are, well, a part of me. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and recommend it to every fan of Ed Abbey. Ed himself, I am sure, would have loved it. Way to go Steven!
