Authors Getting Hostile? 💀 | April 2023 Wrap Up

overall I would give this one four stars though because I thought it was so raw in its emotion and there's so much power in her words

even so this was still a four-star read for me it's really good I definitely recommend it I'm really glad I finally read it

this was a fascinating and thrilling mystery within a memoir I'm just so pleased that I insisted on reading this one this year

even if a book is more character focused I do prefer there to at least be some plot pulling me along and there just wasn't much of that in here so this was rather underwhelming

taking stock spends a lot more time highlighting the history of the cow and how much we in our modern societies owe them

the former son is a lot more personal it gives you a sense of the kind of emotional investment that farmers have in their land and in their stock

his style is so engaging I particularly liked the first and final chapters the one on the apple and then the one in the potato

all the stories that they talk about in this book are absolutely fascinating and they do such a great job of making you feel invested in the outcomes for these birds

the positive is definitely the beauty of the language the way that she worded things took my breath away on more than one occasion I just loved getting lost in the beauty of her words it was really moving but then the negative is definitely the repetition element
