This is not necessarily a bad book, but it was not what I was expected. I picked up this book because I wanted to learn more about owls, and while I enjoyed the first part of the book very much, the latter part, which was mostly poetry, folk tales and historical tie-ins, felt superfluous.

Owls have always been really intriguing birds that easily capture my attention and curiosity and they're made even more so by reading this book. The facts in this book may help clear up a bit of the owls mystery and reveal what they really are.

Now I simply want to wander through the British forests to do some owl-watching.
