Revenge of the Saguaro

"[Miller is] a superb reporter and slyly funny stylist. This is a compulsively readable book by one of our best non-fiction writers."

"Tom Miller knows his Southwest, and in [this book] he takes us on a tour of some of its quirky, funky characters and out-of-the-way places."

"Miller is as quirky and delightful as ever, treating the Southwest as a vast midden from which he plucks many odorous but tasty treasures. The fun, as usual, comes from watching Tom digest."

"Tom Miller loves the American Southwest the way a man loves a wayward, difficult woman, accepting her trashy, all-too-interesting history while knowing the heartbreaking truth. A rueful, wonderful, highly personal guide."

"Residents, potential visitors, and armchair travelers alike will be captivated by Miller's informative and often humorous book, in which the romance and reality of the Southwest are intermingled within a fine narrative."

"Imaginative, inventive, witty. . .Miller has written a wonder-filled book."

"Miller writes with passion about the region and relays it with as much skill as John Steinbeck."
