Title: Watching Grass Grow
Review: This is a diary written by a biologist familiar with the names of trees, insects, birds, leaf types, etc. If the reader is also familiar with these terms, the book might be of interest. For me, it was a bunch of terms that I wasn't familiar with, and nothing in the writing made me want to look them up.Why was the author in the Maine woods for a year? The reader is not told until half way through the book. Nothing happens except changes in weather, seasons, and migrations. Even when the author shows enthusiam about something, the reader is not brought in on the excitement, so the overall impression for me was, "So what?"
Is the review positive or negative?
