Fascinating reading Amazon Customer Love this book so chock full of descriptive details and interesting nuggets. Bought a copy for myself several years ago, and a copy for close friend just recently. You can turn to any page and start reading something eye-opening and fascinating.. "This book is a "must have" for word & nature lovers!" according to A Customer. I've lost count of how many copies of this book I've given away -- at least ten. Ms. Ackerman has the most amazing way of describing the undescribable. She captures all of the senses beautifully; for example you can almost smell the inside of the perfumer's laboratory. She is the perfect blend of poet and naturalist. I have most of her books, an. Such a good writer M. L. Gowland After reading "The Zookeepers Wife" I wanted to read more Diane Ackerman. She's such a great combination of scientist and poet - presenting fascinating facts in an engaging manner. Her writing informs and entertains and inspires me to write. Go Diane!
