The Overstory by Richard Powers

4.0

Powerful and beautifully written. I actually learned a lot about trees and enjoyed reading about the environmental / forestry resistance movement. Section 1 was by far my favorite - each of the short stories was better than the last, and I wanted to know so much more about each story. Unfortunately, when you get more in the later sections, it's drowned out a bit by the heavy handed messaging and very descriptive text. I recommend it on audio, as it was great for my solo work travel. My only issue with the audio was that they made Patricia sound incredibly stupid, which was an odd choice since her character is extremely intelligent.
