review 1: I don't think it would be fair of me to rate this book, as I didn't finish it. I really enjoyed reading the first half - it was uplifting, informative, and spoke to me as a nature lover. However, it started becoming repetitive and my eyes started to float over the words instead of taking them in. I'm sure it's a good book, but the information inside tended to ramble and just essentially repeat the same message over and over. Not sure if someone who isn't a big nature person would enjoy this book, but I think it'd be good for someone who is.
review 2: Very interesting and informative book. I get the feeling, though, that he really just wanted to write Last Child in the Woods again (and let's be fair, who wouldn't?), and that after deviating from an adult focus
... moreback to children, he'd sort of catch himself and say, "oh yeah! But this book is about adults and nature."It was a lot of repetitive information, which really is good for me because it's how I commit things to memory, but I imagine for others it could get a bit dry.SPOILER:The story about the kid who goes from a path leading straight to gang life to being in love with nature, and especially in love with helping others reap the benefits too, just from an ultimatum that one teacher gave him in order to move to the next grade, almost brought me to tears. And though, again, it was a leap back to the effect of nature on kids, that story was the meat of this book for me. Beautiful message and some really great ideas. less
