Book Reviews of Romancing Mary Jane: A Year in the Life of a Failed Marijuana Grower
Book Review: Comparisons to Thoreau's Walden
Summary: 5 Stars
Even if you are not a toker, read this book as a wonderful meditation on self-reliance and independence from society, as well as an exploration of our relationship to nature. I can't help but to find a lot of similiarities to Thoreau in Poole's writing, which in my mind, is a good thing. Instead of hoeing a field of beans, we find a similiar narrator coming to similiar conclusions as he nurtures a different crop. When I reflect on this book and describe it to people, I always speak of his descriptions of the people, bears, eagles, and falcons that Poole closely observes, as well as the self-effacing, humorous comments the author has about his growing experiences. This will be an underground classic that the rest of society will, unfortunately, miss, but could really benefit from.
