The Wild Trees: A Story of Passion and Daring by Richard Preston. rating: 2 stars


The Wild Trees: A Story of Passion and Daring by Richard Preston

MEH- I thought this book would actually be about the trees (!), but most of it seemed to be about the people who climb/study them. It seemed like a kaleidoscopic series of mini-biographies which rather bored me. (I am weirder than all of them put together. Also, I couldn't see that the author made any real choices while writing- seemed to just write about everything because he could. Not interesting.)

Basically, I couldn't see the forest for the people.
