Helpful Score: 1
Melodramatic, sensationalistic, and way too personal for a science book. If there are new discoveries about plants, please simply tell me what they are and why scientists think this is so important. You don't need to tell me why you, the author, quit your job to write this book and what everyone was wearing when you went to visit some scientifically relevant spot.
Also, throughout the book she uses relentlessly anthropomorphic labeling, kind of like this: My calculator remembers; it's intelligent; so obviously it has consciousness - what else can it be?
