This book makes you want to go out and commit some anarchy. It will probably be relevant as long as humans exist, unfortunately. It is a fast paced, exciting book that keeps you on the edge of your seat at times. This is the first fiction I've read by Abbey and I intend to read some more.

Absolutely love Abbey's sense of humor. He had a unique outlook on the rest of the world.
