I read this book on the recommendation of my teenage, bird-loving daughter.
It's an inspiring bit of non-fiction about bird intelligence, women in science, and the bonds that form between two creatures who are in close contact.
It's not my usual cup of literary tea.
I liked it fine. I'm glad I read it. The science parts were fascinating. But the whole book felt a little flat to me. It's why I don't usually go for this kind of thing.
HOWEVER, the sentiments and science presented here are AWESOME. Highly recommended despite it not earning the highest rating arbitrary rating from me.
