“This book exceeded my expectations in every way! Not only did it perfectly illustrate the Burning Man experience and culture, but it is also a kind of step-by-step guide to the basics of preparing for and surviving the wild ride in the desert. I truly felt like I was at Burning Man while reading, like I was on the adventure with Diane, seeing it all through the eyes of a Virgin Burner again.”

“I found myself instantly living vicariously through Diane’s inaugural journey to the Big Burn and feeling connected to the event in a way countless documentaries I’ve watched on the subject haven’t managed to achieve.”

“Engaging, well written and true to the principles of the Burn. If you’ve never been and want to go, read this. If you’ve been and want to visit “home” from your living room, read it :)”
