Sarah B’s Reviews > The Phoenix: An Unnatural Biography of a Mythical Beast > Status Update

Well I am making progress all right but my feelings for this book are all over the place. Many things are repeated over and over. And while the book does make me think its not all that fun to read. I am also unsure if the author has his own opinion on the subject at all? Which I find very strange.

Reading this really has me thinking. How did these ancient people decide the phoenix lives 500 or 1000 years when a human is lucky to live 100 years?? And if they see a rare bird that they only see once in 1000 years isn't it more likely the bird got lost, tossed there by a storm? This book sure has me thinking!
