Book Reviews of Kingbird Highway: The Biggest Year in the Life of an Extreme Birder
Book Review: Living every birder's dream
Summary: 5 Stars
Kingbird Highway is a book that captures the imagination of birders certainly, but it is also a travel book and an excellently written narrative of a young man's journey into his passion and himself. The adventures and excitement of Kenn Kaufman's quest for his Big Year are presented in a captivating style that urges the reader to continue reading on into the night. Unfortunately, it's one of those books where you start to slow down toward the end because you just don't want your relationship with this story and this young man to be over. Kingbird Highway is one of the few books that I plan to re-read -- more than once!
