Book Reviews of The Botany of Desire: A Plant's-Eye View of the World
Book Review: A Different Kind of Read, but a Great One Nonetheless!
Summary: 5 Stars
I wasn't sure I'd like this book, to be honest, as I don't usually read this genre, but being an avid gardener, I was interested, and boy, am I glad I took the plunge. A very interesting and edifying read - ranging from tulips to potatoes to apples to marijuana and how they interact with the human race and we with them. Try it!
