Michael Pollan: The Botany of Desire - A Plant's-Eye View of the World 4 stars

Review of "The Botany of Desire - A Plant's-Eye View of the World" on 'Goodreads'

4 stars

When I checked this audio book out of the library, I wasn't sure how interested I was in the book. I was just looking for anything science related. But once I started listening to it, I was hooked. It meanders a bit, and there is certainly a heavy amount of opinion from the author. But it explores interesting ideas and presents some history of apples, potatoes, tulips, and marijuana. As someone who never did much gardening, it is fascinating to ponder the implications of the domestication of plants.
