Reviews

[Roger · Rating 3 out of 5]

In this second collection of essays and stories, Robert James Waller discusses his love of nature, animals and the environment, and the colourful and interesting characters he meets on his travels. He has an admirable intolerance towards the more pompous elements of our high consumption society and champions the need for us to care more for the planet that gave us life in the first place. "Love, respect and home-grown tomatoes are all that really matter in the end", he writes. If only more people thought that way. An enjoyable collection, though a bit dry at times as RJW grinds an axe about some particular element of society he has taken aim at. That said, he was probably entirely correct in that aim.

Loved his other book of essays, and never heard of this one?! He is such a romantic and a talented writer, I'm sure this book is delicous!

Waller's essays are much better than his books...not so sappy.
