I loved this book. It is so much about nature and nature’s intertwined web, but also about mankind and our part within nature’s web, and how we are subject to the same urges and hormones as the wild things are. I feel this book is a remarkable work of art and of science and of spirituality, and their intertwined webs, too.

I loved this book but the ending seemed kind of abrupt.
