I have been struggling to find motivation to finish this book. My only problem is that I have an e-book version of it and it's turning out to be a problem with respect to convenience of reading. I think I've spent enough time trying to read it, but I think I will step back, shelve it for now and restart once I buy a physical copy.

As for the book, I've managed to read hardly 62 pages, but I've genuinely loved it all. Too bad that my e-book issues are really coming in the way here. Without being too hard on myself, I'm just going to move on to another physical book for now.

Update:
After 2 years, I finally found a paperback version of this book! Loved it, to say the least. The information, experiments and research shared in this book are astonishing. I was truly awestruck with all the special abilities that plants possess. Most of what is covered here may 'seem' to fall into the metaphysical realm, but it's truly science, with experimental evidence to support the scientists' findings.
Everyone should definitely try reading this book atleast once in their lifetime. You'll be amazed to know how powerful the plant life is!

This book started off extremely exciting and actually blew my mind and then I don't know if I had already spent up my attention or if it just genuinely became boring but...either way, I couldn't read it anymore!

If you have kindle unlimited, give it a read!

The "studies" and experimentation described in this book are about as scientifically studious as a magic 8 ball. I kept waiting for the author to explain "obviously we don't believe THIS but it does pose an interesting question" but they don't. They're just like we think this checks out. I'm recommending this for the "If Books Could Kill" podcast immediately.
