This is a book I’ll want to read again. Working in the energy field, I’m fascinated by the push/pull of the ethics where consumerism and environmentalism meet. I’m also moved by the strength and resilience of the human spirit and our glorious but burdened planet. This book hit the spot for me.

I need to look back on my notes for this book, but I read it incredibly fast because it blew me away. John Vaillant's storytelling is unmatched and paints a horrific but spellbinding picture of the events that unfolded in Fort Mac and elsewhere - as well as the events that will continue to occur as a result of the changing climate.
