love this book! the narrator is really great for the most part but was a bit hard to listen to while she was imitating non-native english speakers

Plan on listening to this audio book when you have some big blocks of time as it is nearly 23 hours long with lots of characters in there own stories many of which are not brought together until the end. The narrator Suzanne Toren May be the best I've ever heard and the book would be worthwhile on just her talent. But the book stands on its own and I plan to buy and read it again soon. It's interwoven with cutting edge science that is also an important part of the story. It is a book about trees and the environment at baseline but filled also w people and complex relationships and truly a mystery how all will be brought to a cohesive ending. Happy ending to be determined!

Narration was phenomenal! The subject matter held me thru all 22 hours. Very thought provoking.

Fantastic, thought provoking book.

Very beautifully written book with sobering message for us Earthlings. The narrator was excellent as well, mastering several very different voices. I was very glad to be listening to this book, rather than reading it’s densely descriptive prose. It would’ve taken me much longer to read (and likely have to re-read parts).

Loved it and loved learning about the trees. Beautifully written.

One of the best books in a long time, although it initially seemed like a random collection of short stories. It gave me a greater appreciation of environment and Ive been planting more trees as a result

Absorbing, characters and stories well develop. Book plots well related and balanced. Ending felt complete.

Author is well informed/researched, masterfully weaves lives of people and trees into a fantastic story. Audio book is a great accompaniment to gardening!

A great book and a talented narrator. The narrator changes her voice to mimic children and a major character with a hearing problem and a resulting speech impediment. This means you'll listen to some fairly grating sections in a high pitched whine or fake deaf speech. You'll love this recording if you appreciate a dramatized audiobook, but it was a little much for me.
