God's Middle Finger: Into the Lawless Heart of the Sierra Madre Review: Truthful Telling - The account of Grant's journeys into the Sierra Madre is humorous, poignant and chilling, all at once. Having traveled there myself, I can say that it is also an honest look at that magical, mystical, terrifying place filled with indigenous peoples, outlaws and certifiable characters. His prose is graceful and he keeps his finger on the pulse of each moment. I recommend this book to anyone even harboring a thought of traveling into the Sierra, and to anyone who admires those who travel into forbidden places, filled with curiosity and foolhardiness. A truly engaging read! Review: Richard Grant is well worth reading. - I have become a huge Richard Grant fan and have read his books on Africa, Mississippi, American Nomads.. and this one. Grant is a good writer and an observant, honest journalist. He describes his experiences in a readable and entertaining way and always puts them in an historical context. He really does make the history come alive and for this alone I am indebted to Grant All books I have read have a common theme. He launches himself into adventure with a minimum of planning and a maximum of faith and most of all a sense of adventure. But he lacks the gigantic ego and self-aggrandizement that one might expect from this kind of book. He is actually more interested in talking to people and getting an honest take on the culture he is experiencing. He is a very different writer than Hunter S Thompson but he reminds me of him. A large part of each book consists of him drinking or doing drugs with locals. That is one way he makes friends and gets beyond the surface of the culture. Having said all this, God’s Middle Finger was the book I found the least interesting. It had the most personal danger for the author but the Sierra Madre culture stayed pretty impenetrable to me and not one I wanted to learn more about. There was one trek after another but I didn’t get the same sense of curiosity about place and culture that I did about say Africa or Mississippi. Still he is a very good writer and anything he writes is worth reading. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #744,185 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #65 in General Mexico Travel Guides #799 in Travelogues & Travel Essays #2,948 in Traveler & Explorer Biographies | | Customer Reviews | 4.2 4.2 out of 5 stars (728) | | Dimensions | 5.5 x 0.7 x 8.44 inches | | Edition | 47532nd | | ISBN-10 | 1416534407 | | ISBN-13 | 978-1416534402 | | Item Weight | 9.6 ounces | | Language | English | | Print length | 288 pages | | Publication date | March 4, 2008 | | Publisher | Free Press | ## Images ![God's Middle Finger: Into the Lawless Heart of the Sierra Madre - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71fc5JDg-JL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Truthful Telling *by S***A on January 30, 2014* The account of Grant's journeys into the Sierra Madre is humorous, poignant and chilling, all at once.
