review 1: It was charming, and full of beautiful personal anecdotes from Jane Goodall. Though as other reviewers have said it has a "pseudosciencey" feel instead of hard science or facts. For people looking for a spiritual connection with nature, this would be right up your alley. For me, not so much...and I am a lover of nature and a biologist by nature. Also, I had this on audio book and found myself drifting, mind wandering off to other things for long periods of time...
review 2: Having my degree in environmental science, when I saw this book up for grabs on NetGalley, I immediately requested it. Overall, I'd say that I was pleased by Seeds of Hope. I learned a lot, and Jane Goodall's passion for the plant world and for nature itself shines through her words. This bo... moreok will definitely appeal to certain types of people, but I would still recommend it for those who might be a little wary. Jane Goodall's writing is very reader friendly, and I think that the general public will find this book easy to read, as well as interesting. I particularly enjoyed how she wrote about a rather depressing subject (GMOs, industrialization, etc.) without being overly preachy and while still offering hope for the future. Honestly, as I read, I definitely felt the urge to get up and do something about it all! The only thing that I wasn't a fan of was the fact that some of the chapters and the anecdotes seemed to be without smooth transitions. It made it feel kinda choppy to read at times. Seeds of Hope is jam-packed with truly inspirational stories about the plant world, and it is filled with Jane Goodall's infectious passion for nature, as well as a lot to learn for readers. If you are looking for some engaging nonfiction, I'd definitely recommend this one! This is a book to be read outside, maybe under the shade of a tree or amongst your favorite garden! *I received a free e-galley of this book from the publisher through NetGalley. This in no way affected my review. less
