Book Reviews of the The Last Season (P.S.)
Customer Review: Not all that compelling
Summary: 3 Stars
I was hoping for an adventure story but got a somewhat plodding story of the several days search for Randy Morgenson interspersed with his life story. It's not that Randy didn't seem like a great guy and a good ranger, it just didn't make for a great book. The author tried to make the search seem really exciting and intense, and it probably was for the people involved, but I found the description slow and boring. I found myself skimming instead of deep reading. The search itself was marred by misteps, that are never really dealt with by the Park Service. The book also paints an unflattering picture of the National Park Service and our government and the way they treat the seasonal employees (low pay, no benefits, bad radios, no recognition) who are obviously deserving of better treatment. I can understand why those that knew Randy or have hiked or camped in the area would find the book more interesting, but for those that have never been to the area, it was just ok.
