I learn so much from Peter Wohlleben’s books. This one in particular helped me better understand what is needed to protect the Earth from climate change. Informative, inspiring, and accessible.
I love trees <3. This was kind of all over the place with what it was talking about though...

I really wanted to like this book, but in all honesty, I ended up hating it. I initially thought I would give this a 2 star review, but considering how desperately I wanted this book to be over, I lowered my rating. I really wish I had made the decision to DNF, rather than power through.
It’s challenging to decipher exactly why I disliked this book so much, but I think it comes down to the writing style. While some components of this book were interesting, the writing itself was just a compilation of disorganized ramblings. The author made a lot of relevant points, but there wasn’t a lot of detail or depth. This whole book seemed very superficial/surface level.
Overall, I found this book quite boring. I would often catch my mind drifting elsewhere while reading it. I find the topic of forests and trees interesting, but this book was not engaging at all. I was really hoping for a beautiful, atmospheric nature book that I could learn from. Instead, I was stuck with this disappointing fluff.
At least this book is a short read!

This was so freaking interesting. I would read this again in a heartbeat (no pun intended)! I learned so much and I'm ready to read it again with a new lens and to learn even more the 2nd time around!
The book is full of interesting facts, but it's hard to treat it as a whole. It's rather a collection of different stories about trees, other plants, fungi, animals and ecosystems. Quite engaging, but not as good as The Hidden Life of Trees.

A great read to starting a personal journey in connecting to nature. Excited to read more like this!
