The Song of the Dodo: Island Biogeography in an Age of Extinctions by David Quammen

3.0

2.5 Liked the subject, did not like the book. Interesting parts, but overall, a little bloated - I did not like his writing style and he covers too many topics too shallowly (doesn't go deep enough into the science, doesn't illustrate his personal experiences enough to be interesting). The whole thing is disorganized and read to me as jumping all over the place, not weaving stories together to create a more informative depiction of the subject. Some good parts but I expect more, especially after 650 pages. I will concede it is a broad and complex subject, however!
