The Wild Trees: A Story of Passion and Daring by Richard Preston

To be honest, I didn't finish this. I've owned it for years now and struggled to get through it just to have finished it. It's not a difficult read, it's just that 80 percent of it is completely uninteresting to me. I like the style the book is written in; it reads like fiction. There are moments of beauty, excitement, and drama, just not enough to motor through the unendurable tedium of tree-height descriptions.
