The Plant Messiah: Adventures in Search of the World’s Rarest Species by Carlos Magdalena
3.0
Enjoyable stories, but far too much Latin and the expectance of being able to pronounce and remember plants names. This great detail pulled away from enjoying the stories and lessons that were trying to be taught.
There are some great facts and moments to be remembered and taken away but by the end I couldn't remember the detail in most of them.
The more I progressed the less I bonded.
I couldn't fathom whether this was a biography, an encyclopedia or a set of tales with occasional comedic value. It was all of them, but it needed not to be for it to drive as a compelling read.
I'm happy to have read it, I just wish I took more of it onboard.
