A review by joaniebaloney
Locust: The Devastating Rise and Mysterious Disappearance of the Insect that Shaped the American Frontier by Jeffrey A. Lockwood

informative mysterious medium-paced

4.25

The book is rich in detail, thorough in natural history, intriguing and surprising at times, and the author has a wry wit that elevates the book to a page-turner for me.   A hard book to "rate" - I personally love an absorbing treatise written with style and wit, but a few people i thought would love it found it "too slow".
