The Monkey Wrench Gang Audiobook

" I can't believe the date on this book, 1975- it feels totally contemporary. This was way ahead of it's time when written in the 70s. Brilliant. "

" Great story about saving Glen Canyon from the virus of humanity. Another great work from Abbey, who develops great characters and pulls the reader into the story. Made me want to go pour syrup into a gas tank. "

" I've read this several times, and it remains one of my all-time favorites. "

" Good story. He spells out the deed. "

" This book makes me feel ashamed. Ashamed that I live in this beautiful state and haven't even bothered to see all it has to offer when there are groups of individuals willing to risk their lives to protect it. "

" Radical environmentalism! Not my gig, but fun to play around with the idea. "

" What fantastic characters and the dynamic between them is outrages and human! "

" One of my favorite books of all time. Great read. "

" I read this book in the mid-70s, when it came out, and I loved it. Haven't reread it since & don't know how well it stands the test of time. It was my introduction to Edward Abbey, who later briefly taught at UofA, I think when I was a grad student. Maybe I should read it again. "

" I had high expectations for Abby and I was a little let down. I feel like this is a good book for the action movie man, but not necessarily the plot seeking woman (stereotyping) I can see why abby is the hero of green peace and earth first "

" Abbey's love of the South-West deserts shines through a lovely action thriller and a how-to manual for protecting nature from development. I love his crude sense of humor and the weird yet believable characters. Not for the young and impressionable! "

" As good as I remembered it from decades ago. I counted at least 4 typos. Sloppy. "

" I suggest that readers stick to Abbey's non-fiction! "

" A very funny look at bucking the system. "

" Pretty great except for all the misogyny. Made me miss home. "

" I love Edward Abbey, this is a great book and an awesom read! "

" Outrageous and really funny. Will always remind me of Cini. "

" I really couldn't get through the book actually, I like the idea of ecosabatogue, I just thought he could of cut back a lot of the narrative "

" This is fun, drunk environmentalism from an age where terrorism seemed like a solution. Mostly, I remember the off-center characters who were both odd and lovable. This might be a good entry point to Abbey's writing for casual readers. "

" Gives that additional kick in the back of your head, for those mischievous and restless. And for them law abiding conservationists out there, you'll feel like "chicken without feathers" after reading this. "

" Abbey knew what he was talking about. The dam and the consequent dams have affected upstream rivers and the quality of our sacred wild places - those left. This book is for those of us that believe a natural course of a river is God itself. It shouldn't be Man vs. nature, but harmony. "

" Starts slow but loved the ending. At times too much description. "

" Ok, I had to put this here, cause well, it was a pretty meaningful book to Jen and I... hehehe "

" Fictionalized eco-terrorism at its finest! "

" My dad loaned me this book when I was a teenager, obviously hoping to warp my brain in some societally beneficial way. It must have worked, because I read it over and over again, never did return it, and do seem to have a healthy disrespect for corporations. "
