@NickEast@bookreviews@bookbubble@bookstodon@humour i read that book young and found it depressing too. Later i could appreciate the beauty but imaginary tales that demand lots of death because that's reality... never made sense when aimed at children. Most of our friends will live longer than one summer.
I've just finished reading Feral. I'll admit I felt it was just a tad pretentious to start, but the concept of rewilding won me over.
In many ways it matches my own feelings and ideas about the natural world.
I would highly recommend Feral to anyone who has any interest in the nature and ecology of our seas and forests.
4,5/5 stars 😁
I'm always looking for new and innovative wasy to excuse my book hoarding.
I hadn't realised I could use the 'I'll die someday so nothing matters' angle...😜😂
