The Wild Trees: A Story of Passion and Daring by Richard Preston
5.0
I loved this book! It is interesting to see the negative reviews. Now that I read them I get what they are saying. It is true that the parts I really enjoyed the most were the descriptions of the magical trees and their hidden worlds. But I knew going in that it was a story about people so I guess I wasn’t disappointed. I
found the stories of the people fascinating and I was surprised to find out later in the book that they were friends of the author. The only one he really painted in a nice light was Marie Antoine.
This book got me even more interested in trees and redwoods even though I lived and hiked among them for many years! It got me researching golden salamanders and trying to see photos of the secret treetop gardens. So yeah, I thought this book was inspiring.
The audio book version was excellent!
