I loved this book, I am including this photo because they don‘t seem to feature the version I read here.
A short but fulfilling journey to an interesting place that left the protagonist with a new perspective on his own world. Recommended.

Difficult in places but an ultimately rewarding read.

Wonderful.

There were zero voices like this when I was growing up, thank goodness there are now.

Fascinating.

I was gifted this book from a coworker as part of a secret-Santa gift exchange and really didn‘t know what to expect. I was pleasantly surprised. It‘s not a book I would have picked on my own but I enjoyed it.

I always have a concern when I read something like this that the author is not going to name capitalism for the destructive force that it is and sort of dance around it. Annie Proulx doesn‘t do this, she names it and that counts for a lot. The book isn‘t perfect but she is a very good writer and the positives outweigh it‘s flaws.

Reading Timothy Morton feels like it‘s good for my mental health.

This is a wonderful book, I love it.

At first I was sort of annoyed by this book but the further I got the more that I realized what I was reading was a person discovering a critique of hierarchy and I began to love it. Is this book actually a playfully sneaky anarchist introductory text? Perhaps.

If I had read this in 1996 I would have loved it. Reading it now as an adult who has paid attention for the last few decades this strikes me as a comic book epic for political centrists. I found this to be frustrating. I love comic books but I hate the fact that the majority of the mainstream ones seem to lean to the right. I am stopping myself here before I write anymore but it is what it is and Alex Ross really is an incredible artist.

I enjoyed it for what it is. Watching the heroes defeat a sea-monster by creating an oil spill (and a few other moments like this) really gives one pause from the perspective of reading it in our stage of a climate crises. These are late 50s comics about men enforcing the status quo and if you are like me you may have a hard time turning off your brain and accepting it all on the level of goofy fun. Jack Kirby is really inspiring as an artist.

A good book that takes an even handed and sober approach to the subject. The author has a bit of a liberal bias that left me wishing that someone with an anti-capitalist viewpoint would write a similar book.

Just wanted to add a photo of what my paperback looked like since this particular edition isn‘t represented here.

I wanted to add this image because this particular paperback cover wasn‘t represented here by others who have posted their copies. I enjoyed this book!

Why don‘t I ever hear anyone talking about Jill Johnston? Very interesting, occasionally frustrating, frequently brilliant. Recommended.

Good, like everything Jason does.

I liked it a lot. Recommended.

Absolutely fascinating.

Very informative

Here is the cover of this book since Litsy doesn‘t currently show it.

I‘ve read this series off and on over the years out of order and it is always a real delight to dip back into. You can‘t go wrong with American Elf.

An outstanding book by a great writer.

An amazing book.

Highly recommend.

Reminded me of both Thomas Mann‘s The Magic Mountain and a Miyazaki film while still being it‘s own thing. Very good.

Frustrating, I‘m in total sympathy with the message here but the author seems to be the kind of liberal centrist who rightly points of the despicable nature of the Republican Party while never acknowledging the willful complicity of the Democrats. He gets a lot right here but that overall tone weighs the book down considerably.

Beautiful cover
