Terry Tempest Williams does an excellent job of one thing throughout the book. She can put me to sleep no matter how much caffine i have in my system. I opened this book optimistically thinking that it would have an interesting plot and story line after reading the description. I couldn't have been more wrong. She effectivly discusses issues and situations that couldn't further from what college students are interested in.
If i were asked to rate this book i would rate it a 3 out of 10. I would rate it a three only because it discussed cancer and the family issues surround a tragedy of that nature. Many many people can relate to that situation, but when she continues to go on and on about mormon history in Utah and the bird refuge Williams bores most of the audience. Williams is so well read on the variety and species of birds in the Great Salt Lake area she loses her audience continuously.
I feel like this book was just a way for Williams to express her views of life and indulge in her memories from huge landmarks in her life. I found that throughout the book she consistently shares her feminin viewpoint. She refers to "you" as she.
Besides knowing the flood point of the Great Salt Lake, this book has taught me, what i feel, is nothing,
