More of an informative deluge than a gripping narrative but enjoyable if the information itself is enjoyable

I’m not sure I enjoyed this book but it does give a good but brief description of the plant kingdom. He does make some good jokes which do lighten the mood. However one of my greatest frustrations was the lack of a glossary as plants, more so than Animalia, have a ridiculous volume of vocabulary. I do not think it would be accessible if you knew nothing at all about plants and wanted a taster. This is on the other hand great for gardeners and biologists.
