An awesome book. I just got back from a 1 week hike/camp of the Utah southeastern desert, and read the book along the way. I had admired Philip's photography for awhile and really loved his photo.net site (I learned a lot from it, and I like the layout).
Several quotes from the book really stuck out, like the ex-Marine who said he learned that killing was not a sport, like the woman who put the death of George into a new light around his friends and friendship, etc. I need to go back through it and highlight my favorities, I did not have my handy yellow highlighter in my tent :-).
I was struck about his return to MIT and his home, and the nature of his friendships and all of a sudden all he had to "do" - I struggle with the same things. But we really "do" it to ourselves, eh?
Anyway, I really liked the book, and I also like the several episodes of self deprecating humor. Was amazed also at how much work it must have been, to capture events, record conversations, etc..
All in all, I had trouble putting this book down, one never knew what type of adventure Philip was going to run into next. Really thought his honesty was great, and I also thought he knew what to leave in and what to leave out (you have to read the book to know what I mean :-).
In total - if you like Philip's photo.net site, you will love this book!
