Query: Very disappointing book....

After reading "Fool's Progress", I began to become interested in Edward Abbey's other books. So I read "Monkey Wrench Gang", probably one of his better known ones, and I came away from it quite disappointed. Yes, I know it was the 70's, when it was written, but did we really need a stereotypical J.A.P feminist and a flat ex-Green Beret, who loves violence and to litter. The sentiments that the dam at Glen Canyon ruined the Colorado seem right, but that was the book's only strength. By the time I got to the end, I didn't care what happened to the characters, although I give it credit for not being a "hollywood" ending.
