Customer Reviews

Reminder

Fergus reminds us of what life was like before cell phones, reality tv, and flip flops. I recommend trading the flip flops for some hikers and getting out to experience what Thornapples is about. As far as the previous reviewer who gave the book 1 star, I heartily disagree. Regardless of where Fergus lives now, the writings on bluebirds, giant trees, and frog songs are all about PA where there is still plenty of wildlife to experience.

plainspoken and wise

I read a lot of nature books, and this one stands out as one of the best I've read in a long time. Chuck Fergus' plainspoken and wise words made me want to take a long hike in the woods. I especially loved his description of the sounds of the "chorus" at a pond on a warm spring evening. It made for perfect reading on a chilly February day. You're sure to love it.
