bookmarc reviewed Losing Eden by Lucy Jones
Review of 'Losing Eden' on 'Goodreads'
2 stars
Important topic, just not written with the care it deserves.
The author does more wondering about stuff than Carrie Bradshaw, while otherwise padding things out with repetitions of both facts and anecdotes (We get it, you enjoy swimming in nature!). It's particularly bad given the brevity of the book.
There were also a few instances of unrelated topics just being thrown into paragraphs as apparently the author didn't manage to find a good spot for them.
A thorough go with an editor would have much improved this book. In its current state it felt more like a long mediocre blogpost than something that should have been published in book form.
