Description

If you are new to Derrick Jensen's writing, this may well be the book for you. However, if you've already read a couple of his books, I suggest you stay away from this one. It reads and feels as though his publisher wanted a new book out right away, so he turned to the time-worn solution of gathering a bunch of old material into a collection and publishing it in a "new" book.

The essays are ten years old and simply cannot follow Endgame,for example. This is not cutting-edge Jensen. More like "mild mannered" Jensen. It certainly won't stop my reading Jensen, nor abate my enthusiasm for him or his work. But, this book is definitely a detour from his usual excellence, and this review is my warning signpost to other Jensen followers to use their time and dollars more wisely than I did.
