The Monkey Wrench Gang Review


Yeah, so you should read this book.... It's awesome!!


The book The Monkey Wrench Gang is a work of genius; it’s an iconic work of anarchy and environmentalism. Not only is the book action packed and full of explosions and adventure, but the characters are probably the best part. They’re grizzled, absurd, their actions grandiose and delusional, and you feel a strong sense of solidarity and sympathy throughout the reading. These characters take things to the extremes, all to protect the great outdoors from society. !
! Though this book is a little old, (published in 1975), it has sold over half a million copies, and is loved by many. Houston Chronicle says, “A thing of beauty... A wildly funny, infinitely wise, near to tragic tale of man against the bog god machine.”!

Even if you’re not into the whole “save the environment” “western” vibe, it is almost impossible to not like this book. It’s so interesting to find out what wacky things these eccentric characters are willing to do to carry out their plans. It’s really a joy to read.
