Well, I smashed this in one sitting. Trees are friends to you and me.

Listened on audio during a long drive. Most of the research is Europe based but applicable world wide. A bit didactic.

I really really want to like this book, and the first few chapters has promised so much of trees in their most poetic and intriguing life. Then it got repetitive, with basically the same underlying logic and scientific principles, but in new metaphors or analogies human. Basically a novel with a limited plot and few character developments. It would be so much nicer if the book were structured differently, like a life of tree from birth to death, with interaction to other living organisms and the forest as a whole.
Does it help your understanding of trees? Yes
Is it so exciting that you can't lift off your eyes? No

It was interesting but the author isn't a scientist from what I can tell so and there wasn't a lot of sources so I didn't trust the info
