Everything I Loved More

True Tales of Rocks and Rails

By: Dakota Walz

Narrated by: Gentry Lee

A roller-coaster collection of true short stories that follow a young man searching for sincere adventure along the tops of freight trains and mountain ranges. The danger can be nausea-inducing while he hangs on a single flexing hold of sandstone hundreds of feet off the ground or attempts to skirt the sexual advances of a meth-smoking trucker while hitchhiking through the middle of nowhere. Between the many gripping scenes, his debasing humor acknowledges the foolishness in the romance of it all.

Beyond each singular exciting and hapless adventure, an important journey is told between the tales, one of a young man attempting to combat his mental health problems with a potent dose of recklessness...and just how well it almost works.

if you love real life adventure stories,

If you enjoyed other adventure stories about folks hitting the road to seek adventures in new locations this a good short story to check out.

Gentry Lee's performance is ok and the only part that could be improved. The story starts with Dakota as a young man and covers a time as he starts a journey to find himself and continue that path.

I found this book through hearing the author on the Enormocast describing a bit about his journey. I was intrigued and wanted to learn more so I pick up this book.

Dakota covers the range of stories about how he chose to hit the road and his adventures on the road and in nature. His story is raw and powerful and covers a side of adventure rarely covered in other stories. I highly recommend this book.
