Stephanie Jane reviewed The Monkey Wrench Gang (P.S.) by Edward Abbey
Entertaining with gorgeous descriptions
4 stars
The real strength of The Monkey Wrench Gang for me was in Edward Abbey's gorgeous descriptions of the natural environments throughout South West America, particularly Utah. He had a sharp eye for detail and I particularly loved the passages evoking the plant life or vast rocky panoramas. That said, Abbey's whole novel is an entertaining tale, perhaps a little dated now in places, but I still enjoyed following the intrepid quartet along their roads to destruction.
