Book Reviews of The Orchid Thief: A True Story of Beauty and Obsession (Ballantine Reader's Circle)
Book Review: A FASTINATING READ
Summary: 5 Stars
It really does not matter if you are into flowers or not, this was simply a good read. Absolutely stuffed with facts, well written and fastinating. The silly movie they made from the books was enjoyable, I liked it, but as is usaully the case, the book is so much better. Be careful though..this is not a novel, a mistake I think several reviewers made. The story, I feel, is as much about the author as anything. I liked that. It is a quirky book, written by a quirky author and it works. I very much recommend it and very much enjoyed it's reading.
