The Big Year by Mark Obmascik

adventurous funny informative medium-paced

4.0

An interesting tale of adventure of the true story of 3 men who competed in a Big Year of bird watching. Nicely balanced between insights into these men's lives, their adventures across N. America in pursuit of birds and the heavy toll it takes on all of them. There's also the occasional piece of historical data thrown in. In all this was a fascinating account of obsession, but told with humour, and in an easy to read style. Really enjoyed this.
