review 1: I read it last week. Although I did not dislike it, I can't say much for it. Part of the thing is that short stories and novellas rarely work for me; I don't know why but it's not my thing. It was quickly read and quickly forgotten. I decided to read this book because of Ariana's good review and because I like every thing that has to do with trees. Originally I wanted to read Bonsai(from the same author) but only found this one;now I'm not sure I will try Bonsai.
review 2: Really a very good little book. Read it in its entirity during one soak in the tub. There are a couple points in the book where he makes odd, uncertain, sturctural decisions about how to present the story. These points made me cringe a bit. Hope he realizes now what a talented writer he i... mores because the rest of the book is very very good. Set in Santiago, Chile where I'll find myself in...let's see... 13 days. less
