Captain Fun (Cortez) does a great job of capturing the flavor of the most unique place on Earth, Black Rock City. As he shows our hero Dex the ropes, we get to see the playa again through the eyes of a virgin. Fun also does a great job of explaining the customs of BRC very well, gifting, participating, leave no trace, and my favorite, safty third!

I loved reading this book because it took me on one more playa adventure while I was decompressing in the default world.

Let this story of murder be a lesson to you all that BRC isn't for everybody. Newbies and virgins think twice before you make the trip to Nowhere...Darth Bunny is out there!

This book is SOOOO fun, great descriptions, great insights, I have been savoring it.

I don't know if I would like it as much if I were not a burner but it is very descriptive if someone is looking for a narrative of someone experience rather than an essay about the concept of the event.

2 Thumbs up!!

A wonderful read for a burner who misses home. It really reminds you of all the reasons you fell in love with BRC to begin with and makes you miss it that much more.

Finally there's an answer to the age-old question: How do you explain Burning Man to someone who's never been? Okay, yes, the person will have to read 300 odd pages to figure it all out, but it is well worth it. The setting and story are just perfect. I couldn't put the book down, and of course it made me totally homesick for Black Rock City. I'm not even usually a Mystery reader! So, take it from a Burner Librarian. If you need a good read and/or are interested in a perfect fictional take on Burning Man, look no further than The Man Burns Tonight.

.... and by the way, not the only one fiction involving burning man --- you read this and it's pretty much like waqndering for the playa (only that it's actually better to be there for real).

Good book!!!!
