Well I thought I knew quite a bit about trees and forests, but it turns out I certainly did not! This was really engaging and easy to read. The organisation of the book felt a bit haphazard, jumping around from idea to idea in a stream-of-consciousness kind of way. This made it a bit difficult to absorb everything (I recommend reading in small doses), but it was nevertheless extremely fascinating. I think the translation has rendered some of the language a little odd, but not enough to detract from the reading experience. There's quite a lot of personification which I know isn't everyone's cup of tea, but I think it can really help in understanding and taking to heart the message of the book.
