I have a lot of feelings about this book. First of all it was more highbrow literature than I usually read. I enjoyed some of the story. There were certain parts that felt so true to humanity as a whole. I picked it up as a book about botany to read in April but instead it was about much else. I found the story within a story seemed like not a useful tool and I didn’t feel like it ended in a satisfying way.
