A book club selection, and one of my favorites. This book is so much fun, so informative and entertaining. One that I recommend over and over again, becuase it so unique and so accessible. And I used 'so' a lot! Think sow seeds, ha.
Apples, potatoes, marijuana and Tulips! I will admit I would have enjoyed learning more about cocoa...we think we humans wield so much power.
A must read.

I now know more about apples, potatoes, marijuana and tulips that I ever thought I needed to know. Saw him speak at my local library. I'm now making it a point to buy produce from local growers. GO GREEN!

Pollan writes in an entertaining and informative manner that kept me turning pages well into the night. I highly recommend this book.

This book will change forever the way that you look at plants, and, in particular, those plants we have "domesticated" as our favorites. Michael Pollan has the gift of a fantastic storyteller and the imagination to see our relationship to plants in a novel way. He has thoroughly investigated the fascinating histories of four useful and familiar plant groups, ones you thought you already knew plenty about. Prepare to learn more!

This book is fantastic. It lets you appreciate the world from another point of view that you wouldnt normally think about. It makes you want to enjoy life even more. So get out there and enjoy all of lifes simple pleasures because they have been comming 4.5 billion years in the making. They are better than ever before today, and even better tomorrow. Who knows what the future holds. Some sort of super flower that we can eat, enjoy the beauty of, and smoke I would gather... but I doubt it in our lifetime.... soon though :).
