I think this book was too deep for me to get. I lost interest.

This book has an odd premise, but the ideas flow and the philosophy is sound. A good read overall.

One of my favorite books. If you are an environmentalist, you need to read this.

I thought this was an amazing book and was extremely forward thinking for being published in 1992. It gives such a fascinating and compeling point of view of how and why humans are continually degrading the world's natural resources. The format and ideas were unique, simply a great read.

Daniel Quinn really yapped in circles for 338 pages and thought he sounded fuckin sick doing it 

I quit reading this book. I could be more eloquent in explaining the complex reasoning for this decision, but basically I couldn't take the short, overly simple, metaphorical [lack of:] dialogue anymore.

I really enjoyed reading this. Keep an open mind while understanding the ideas in this book.
