[Prentiss] locates and interviews Abbey's inner circle of friends, and in these faithfully recorded scenes his book . . . catches fire--including a conversation with Doug Peacock, the ex-Green Beret model for Abbey's monkey-wrenching Hayduke, who in real life keeps a .357 Magnum by his side. The final chapters of Mr. Prentiss's quest are suspenseful and winning. . . . Finding Abbey is a touching book.--Wall Street Journal

Readers will find something to envy in Prentiss's exploration. While having all the makings of an expertly researched piece of narrative journalism, Prentiss also turns the magnifying glass on himself. What is most commendable about Finding Abbey is [Prentiss's] willingness to go the distance and explore, to think deeply about one of modern America's most outspoken critics, and to inspire others to look for what [Prentiss] rightfully calls 'a life worth living.'--Vermont Sports Magazine
