Desert Rants

Rants from the Hill:  On Packrats, Bobcats, Wildfires, Curmudgeons, A Drunken Mary Kay Lady, and Other Encounters with the Wild in the High Desert
By Michael P. Branch
4 stars


The author and his family live in the far reaches of the Sierra Nevada desert where the wildlife, wildfires and harsh weather reign supreme.  This book is a collection of humorous essays depicting everyday life in this isolated environment.  Some of these are laugh-out loud funny, especially when he is grumpily despairing of the animals (both wild and domestic) that surround him.  All of these essays are very short and the entire book reads very quickly creating an incredibly fun reading experience.  I received a digital ARC of this book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
