I believe this book was very, very bad

This book reeked of a young, horny, and stoned young man when I read it at age 23, and it is no different now, literally months later.

I thought the gratuitous sex with horny women and gratuitous violence with tough men, as well as the overt racism and stupid ideas on house building (what was it? some sort of fiberglass foam stuff that you could break off easily and with great joy when bored? huh? can somebody say "strawbale", "adobe" or "rammed earth"?), plus the reality that it wasn't a book you could call "written well with great forethought" pretty much ruined it for me.

No, it's not just a passably good representation of a possible utopian society, it's an insult to my intelligence and idealism as well as a book that makes all deep eco-freaks look like idiots and cult followers. And this is coming from a self-styled deep ecologist who doesn't own a car, likes to eats organic vegetables, and thinks sex is great.

Like the author of the reivew hinted at, go read Abbey instead. Or better yet, do something outside.On Revisiting the 1970s eco-cult classic that gripped a nation posted 4 years, 6 months ago 10 Responses
