justeva's review against another edition
The prose is fantastic. I even loved the story...it was just slow. Long and slow. Beautiful, long, and slow. Like trees, I suppose.
Maybe I'll come back to it another time.

If I'm honest, I would've liked this book a lot more of I read it before I read Braiding Sweetgrass. I like the unique format of the book, and I understand it's charge, but I feel like my view on nature was already connected to the slow and deep way this book portrays it, and therefore I don't know if it hit as much as it did for all of the other people who are singing it's praises. Maybe I'm being harsh because it was really well written, but this is my review so it stands as is.
