The Big Year
Mark Obmascik

This is my most blasphemous book review ever….. but I truly enjoyed the movie adaptation more.

The pros of the book are the amazing detailed lists of different bird species and where they were found, but it became too much of “and then he went to x, followed by y, and then to z.” It just flows cleanly in the movie.

For any birder, it’s worth it, but would be very tedious for anyone who isn’t a diehard.

(But anyone can enjoy the movie!!)
