The Hidden Life of Trees

The author clearly loves trees and the forest.

I enjoyed learning more about trees from the narrative.

Some of the metaphor is too forced or fake. While I could feel the distance, I think I also understood the reasons the author kept anthropomorphizing trees - to help us understand and feel connected.

My forests -even old growth- are mostly coniferous, and the climate is much different, but I still found the description of forests engaging.
