Summary: Mental Chains
Comment: While the author shook off the chains the wage-slavery society, he is much less proficent in shaking off the chains of the ideas he has about himself. The author seems to suffer from a cult of his own personality, which makes the book less about freedom and more about him defining himself. I am sorry to say that this is not "revolutionary", but quite ordinary. Having travelled and lived in India, I have seen true renounciates...of both body and mind. One star is in recognition of the courage required to live that way, and the second is in recognition that in order to live that way in a society such as ours, maybe a strong self-image/arrogance is needed. WHAT A PROFOUND MEASAGE IT WOULD BE IF IT WASN'T!

Summary: Amazing!...
Comment: This book is fantastic. It was hard for me to put it down. I serioulsly read it in about 48 hours. One of the best books yet. About a straight-edge vegan, who travels across the U.S. by jumping trains, hitch hiking, and ocassionaly riding a bus. He lives off the dumpster and stealing. Any where that this author can sleep he will. He sleeps on top of stores, in abandend cars, and once in a great moon is peoples houses. Another great book by Crimethinc.

Summary: Even Anarchists need some structure
Comment: This is a book that basically lists the reason adults in america hate teenagers. Evasion is the tale of a kid to stubborn to ignore is own truths and go with a trendy rebellion that in the long run seems to make no sense at all. I wouldn't know what happens in the long run because I could NOT seems to finish this book even after I promised myself not to do so. The book is a good 300 pages of the same story over and over. Kid gets hungry, kid gets poor, kid steals food, return to start.
A particular part of this book made me mentally sore when the main character discovers his favorite brand of juice is made in a factory and feels betrayed. I just kind of put the book down and walked around by myself for a while after that.
Aside from its blatanly unintelligent parts there is also the manner of glorifying poverty that is brought up again and again. A kid has a great house and a family to take care of him and he chooses to live on the streets where people would give a limb to live like he once had it.
All in all, everyhting I can say about this book can be summed up in one statement. There's a reason the author chose go go anonymus for this one.
