Annoying and monotonous Voice, check before buying

Its hard to write about how I like the story, as the Speaker is very annyoing to me.
I was looking forward to hear the story but the Voice made it impossible for me to enjoy it.
I dont understand how such a highly praised book can be read by a Voice like this. Nothing personal Suzanne, maybe its just my personal taste. Check before buying!

great audiobook

however i didnt like that the speaker spoke in accents for the foreign characters and in (for a lack of a better word) hearing-disability accent for a character with a hearing disability. that was extremely offputting and frankly seemed kind of racist and ableist in 2019.

Inspiring, epic storytelling

This novel reads like a true story of all of our lives. The individual destiny of each of the characters are woven into an unforgettable drama about the salvation of our ecosystem. Powers is a master of the language, and we can only be grateful that he has employed his artistic talent for such a worthwhile cause. Trees are much more a part of us than most of us are aware. This book should be required reading for every human on the planet.

Simple amazing

Highly recommenable to anyone who cares for this planet. For anyone who cares to listen, to watch, and to act.

Versuch ein Lehrbuch über Bäume in Romanform zu gießen

Dieser Versuch fällt sehr langatmig aus. Die verschiedenen Charaktere und Fäden der Geschichte werden nie wirklich zusammengefügt. Das Ende ist wenig befriedigend, im besten Fall wohl aufrüttelnd gemeint.
Allerdings gelingt es dem Autor, zum Nachdenken zum Umgang mit der Schöpfung anzuregen.
