Book Reviews of The Wild Parrots of Telegraph Hill: A Love Story . . . with Wings
Book Review: A touching book
Summary: 4 Stars
It's more than a nonfiction book about birds (though it is, in fact, a pretty good book about birds). In a lot of ways, it's the rather touching story of a rootless guy who finally finds some purpose in his life ... which happens to heavily involve the birds of the title. Much of the book is rather rambling, which is fitting given the author's own search for a focus to his life. If you've seen the movie, the book is well worth reading for the way it gives greater dimension to the story; if you haven't seen the movie, I'd highly recommend watching it, too; it really is a great little documentary and is readily available on DVD.
