I wept often. I love nature. This book changed every cell in my body to be one so deeply and profoundly connected to our Mother Earth. Finishing reading this book felt like a vow to life and the miracle of existing. Wall Kimmerer is an angel amongst humans, the epitome of what I strive to emulate. In a way, her writing is the seed that will change the world and bring light back to our essential connection the natural glory of the world. May indigenous cultures be revived and allowed to guide us in stewardship to protecting our planet and all the incredible living beings found within it once more. Robin, dear Robin, thank you.

Very good. Dragged a bit in the middle, almost started to feel boring but Moshfegh's writing strings you along almost imperceptibly until BOOM!! Plot twist! And you are fully immersed and can't put it down until the very end. Definitely a thriller!!!

Very good and useful to read due to the sheer number of references general culture makes about this story but also SO TEDIOUS and quite boring. Hard to get through but worth the read!

Somewhat dull & puritanical but when I got into it, I couldn't stop reading. I appreciated learning about the plight of women during that time period and found the writing to be compelling and beautiful.

This book and author are overhyped. It's good, nothing special at all. I wouldn't buy the book but would read it if I had access to a free copy and was bored
