Ashish Sarang sarangashish — This book is the story of a group of people that spend their time exploring the redwood forests of Northern California. It does a really good job of showing the passion and commitment that they have for these tall trees. The book is a relatively easy read and a good way to walk in someone else's shoes for awhile. And isn't that one of the reasons we read books?

Bethan Rebecca bethanjones — Apparently I read this book before and just didn't realize it. Must have been before I moved to US, because I'm sure I'd have remembered the distinctive word "Shadowmancer". I remembered most of the scenes in re-reading, so nothing came as surprise, so that definitely took away from my enjoyment of the story this time. What I learned from this book is that religion and fantasy don't mix. I kept thinking, "This is not the way it works." While, okay, I cannot say I know what God would or wouldn't do, etc. it was hard to suspend unbelief. In addition, the story was too moralizing at times, and the ending was highly unsatisfying. All this build-up and for what? And I nearly forgot, but the description of how the villain turned to evil was ... There's no word to describe it, so I'll let the text speak for itself: "...he was overcome by a sudden greed. Darkness and desire has consumed him, washing from him all his light and charity. Demurral was changed in the twinkling of an eye. Every ounce of goodness, every drop of mercy and every speck of joy were suddenly and powerfully transformed in one shudder of his bones. In that instance he has given over all that was good to that which was corrupt." Okay, people don't change that fundamentally in a "twinkling of an eye". Plus later in the book, the author contradicts himself a bit, as he tells how Demurral as a boy mistreated his pet. So was he good initially, or what?

Styepo Fashion _tyepo — I was really really disappointed. I dont know which is worst, being disappointed in this book, or with my fellow goodreads reviewers great reviews! The topic was different and in the end you stop wondering if its possible to insert a soul into a body and accept it and go with the story. But the story was unnecessiraly long! After reading everyone's reviews I kept reading and hoping the story will pick up. After page 134 the story started picking up a bit. I suffered through the boring first 134 pages since everyone who had read the book said it was great. It's not! Save your precious time and read something else. I loved Twilight (not the series, but Twilight and Midnight Sun), so I thought a book for adults must be good! Well it wasn't. I also dont understand why in her books Stephenie Meyer has to create a character who is the kindest, most tolerant, self-sacrificing character? It gets ANNOYING!!!! At the end of the Twilight series I ended up not liking Edward's character at all because of this. In this book Wanda is the same, too nice, too kind, too forgiving, too ANNOYING!!!! There was no twist at the end and she left the book so it ends up as a series. She should stop with the SAPPY love sick annoying goody-goody characters and create characters which the reader can respect and connect with.

Shannon Morrison bakemeacakae98 — The subtitle and marketing hype are a little misleading...the book is a lot more looseley structured around the back-sourcing of various meals than I expected. Still it's a fascinating read. Pollan offers the best-articulated rationalization for being a meat-eater yet, and his analysis of the HFCS component of our food economy still has me fired up.
