A review by forestsfernsfries
Lab Girl by Hope Jahren

5.0

The prose in this book is so stunningly beautiful and happens to be right up my alley with the love of plants and all things dirt-related. I liked how the author wove both her professional discoveries and her personal story and it was written with almost perfect cadence. I made more highlights in this book than any other book I've read, and I will treasure her insightful thoughts for years to come. It is rare that someone captures my feelings and thoughts so eloquently - she turns all my roughly formed ideas into things that dance off the pages. Truly an amazing read for anyone who loves or is interested in plants and the "why" of nature. I will be reading this again and again (even if I have to borrow it from the library a dozen more times!).
