Search - Desert Solitaire

This book was recommended to me by an ecology professor. The subject matter was interesting enough but the prose failed it. I found the writing a bit trite at times and overly flowery at others. I did not finish the read. I suspect that the author has a bit of a 'cult-like' following or is, perhaps, an acquired taste.

Great essays that are perfect to finish an evening with.

One of my all time favorite books. It changed how I view the environment.

I have read this book several times and enjoy every page. Abbey's descriptions of the desert wilderness are captivating and he is a very likeable narrator. This book is a must read for those who crave true wilderness adventure and appreciate environmental awareness and conservation.
