reading this one on my brother-in-law's suggestion, i was a little worried due to the recent non fiction books i've read that the author would insert himself into the book too much (and judging by the photo he chose for the flap, i grew more worried) but so far it hasn't been that bad, about 1/2 way through the book..

finished it, still a little too much tough guy stuff, but still the vivid writing helps to show what's going on in that valley..
