Birdwatchingwatching: One Year, Two Men, Three Rules, Ten Thousand Birds by Alex Horne

informative lighthearted reflective relaxing slow-paced

4.0

I'll be super honest. I couldn't give a shit about birds or birdwatching. The only reason I have read this book is that I'm currently obsessed with Alex Horne (otherwise known as the Taskmaster's Assistant and Creator of Taskmaster). Having said that, I wouldn't give a crap book a good review just because I'm all of a flutter for the author (see what I did there). I really enjoyed this book. I didn't think I would, I thought even Alex Horne can't make birdwatching exciting and do you know what, he doesn't. This book isn't actually about birdwatching it's about obsession and what drives them (the irony) and about family and relationships. It made me feel all soft and fuzzy and warm towards both Alex and Rachel (his poor wife - which I muttered more than once on reading this) but also about Alex's dad. I thought it was a great book and I look forward to reading his others.
