🔽 Book review and notes 🔽
It’s the 70s American wild wild west hippy “comic” – not my cup of tea.
I did expect it to be like this, and it did turn out to be like this.
And I knew I would march on to finish anyway.

3 men and 1 woman, strangers, meet and form a gang to go against the system, aiming to blow up bridges and dams to save the environment.
Maybe it’s a like those gen z warriors who vandalise the art in museums, but they are the weaker copycats, these teenagers don’t risk their lives, but here the Gang do have a rich man but are really sweating and risking.

Anyways this book, it’s more for those macho men, a lot of details of trucks and arms, and it’s that generation who just came back from Vietnam.
Very very far from myself.
